See the positive side.
You unknowingly had an extra backup for some time. :-)
(but, being on the same disk as the original data, it was a poor one)
Thanks Will,
I have fixed this now to automount the USB drive, which is better
because it means the backup is made.
Thanks anyway,

What happens if you read the whole file system:
cd /
tar c --one-file-system -f - .|dd of=/dev/null bs=1M
