How to fix Permission Denied on external drive?
by Lady Fitzgerald from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53JAX)
I have an external backup drive (Laptop 1 BU 1), formatted ext4, that I was able to just copy and paste the data on my data drive (DATA1) to for the initial backup. However, when I tried to update the backup using FreeFileSync, I got an error message saying permission denied for Laptop 1 BU 1. How can I fix this?
