Changing permissions in fstab in order to allow writing for this partition, or just change permissions for backup folder

Try to add your external Hdd to fstab so that it's automounted while booting

Get the UUID

Run the command:

sudo blkid

Then open /etc/fsatb:

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

Now add the line to the bottom of /etc/fsatb:

UUID=UUID /mounting-point ext4 defaults  0      2

Replace UUID with result of your UUID of /dev/sdX

Replace /mounting-point with path to mount the partition on

Reaplce ext4 with your partition filesystem type
