I have been trying for 2 days now to get one of the two external drives I have to work for backups of my install. My fdisk -l /dev/sdb yields this output: http://susepaste.org/41422947 I have been using the Backups gui program that I believe is provided by MATE but I use KDE. The shortcut resides in the System option in the Menu. I had a TW install a few days back and this worked perfectly for me. I am again using TW, second install, both installs were upgrades. When I use this Backups program, it throws an external window showing this: http://susepaste.org/72088551 I have formatted both drives a few times to ext4. I used GSmartControl on one for a 2 hour test and it was fine. Both drives are fine. I believe something with duplicity or python is causing this issue but i've no clue. Can anyone help me or am I just out of luck on this? Jim
