Bug Description
I have set my backup destination to a separate drive in the machine, but not at the default location.
When the backup runs, it fails stating permission denied, as the destination drive is not mounted.
When I enter the proper destination in the backup at the "storage location", the drive then mounts and is present on the desktop. Then the backup will run successfully.
I then "unmount" the drive using the menu on the drive icon, and the mounted drive disappears from the desktop. I don't need a bunch of drives listed or shown on my desktop, as it detracts from the beauty of the screen.
If I mount the drive before running the backup, it will succeed.
My point with this is that I am not going to mount the drive every time I run backup, and when mounted, I don't need it listed or shown on my desktop.
In unity, the drives appeared in the launcher or dock, and there was an option to "remove from launcher", which still left the drive mounted, but off the desktop and launcher. This was a nice way to fix this problem.
