and then make sure /media/usbdisk/rdiff-backup is owned by rdiff-backup.
mount /media/usbdisk (adjust mount point according to your system setup).
We are assuming here that your drive has a label "usbisk"
mkdir /media/usbdisk
mount /dev/disk/by-label/usbdisk /media/usbdisk
mkdir /media/usbdisk/rdiff-backup
mkdir /media/usbdisk/rdiff-backup
chown rdif-backup:rdiff-backup /media/usbdisk/rdiff-backup
chown rdif-backup:rdiff-backup /media/usbdisk/rdiff-backup
Note: Currently /media/xxxx devices are not automounted by default. You must mount the intended media after each bootup or the backup won't work. This mounting process may be automated in the future
