I am currently using Fedora 17 on a Gateway T-6321 Laptop with 3.0GB of memory and a 320 GB Hard drive. I am trying to run the "Backup" that came with Fedora and have the entire set of files save to an external 2.5" SATA Hard drive connected with a StarTech enclosure that connects to the laptop via USB. Everything starts just fine....I create a folder on the drive and start the backup...about 3 minutes in I get an error message telling me that process could not complete, because f a permissions error. I have used GParted to format the drive with ext4 and cleaning all the space on the drive...but even after I do this I cannot create files or folders on the external hard drive to use for backups. Is there something I need to do with this drive so that I can use it for backing up my Fedora laptop on a biweeky basis? More info below:

External HDD = Western Digital "Scorpio" 160GB Serial ATA HDD
Connections = StarTech InfoSafe USB 2.0 SATA Drive Enclosure

Fedora 17 with all updates installed. (Including latest GRUB)


TIA
