Roberts i think didn't see your sda1..and only saw /cdrom
Uh...I have the same problem sunburnt..I've determined its a race condition, and I thought i was the ONLY one who had it as i've been unable to find anyone else to repeat the condition..
The file you're looking for is not /.backup_device but /opt/.backup_device
A race condition because I can manually do backup (as root, from a terminal - open terminal type 'sudo su ; filetool.sh backup' ) and it works flawlessly everytime...its crappy because my auto-backup doesn't work all of the time (pipe doesn't break all the time, so it works occasionally, a race condition for me because its RANDOM and can only be a race condition if it works the rest of the time.
anyway, like i've said, i think its a race condition...i got tired of it, so i started backing up to my usb drive manually everytime...just got pissed that no one knew anything about it or had the same problem ;p and thats the easiest way to avoid it...but um...here are some suggestions...
i'm not at my console right now, but if there is a 'sleep' or 'wait' or a timer type command, put the backup script on a timer, or, write a shellscript to do it for you...that way it will isolate the backup routine (while its not trying to shut down everything else, etc) and will hopefully terminate race conditions.
i hope this helps, please tell me what happens. ;)
