Mondoarchive is trying to create a partition to backup your data on /dev/sdb.
It is trying to create and prepare /dev/sdb1, but it is running into a problem
and gracefully quitting and letting you know about it. See above where it
says "ERROR:" That is telling you the step that is going wrong. So, what is
on /dev/sdb? Can you just delete the existing partitions and try again? That
will very likely solve your problem.
