Bug Description

My external hdd is not always plugged into its usb port - so Deja Dup's backup destination is missing.DD should ask for it and wait for the user to plug it in or the backup should be canceled by clicking a button.
Because right now DD just shows an error message and cancels the automatic backup itself.

Fixed. If running manually, Deja Dup will prompt for it. If running automatically, Deja Dup will pop up a notification message that says it is delaying the backup, and to insert the volume.
