Bug Description
I have a Western Digital "My Passport" USB drive attached, formatted as NTFS. I can read/write to the drive just fine. However, Systemback shows this drive with a red X and won't allow it to be selected as the storage directory. System info report is attached.

This is not a bug, because the NTFS is not a Linux filesystem (as an official condition, see the warning at the bottom of the window ). The NTFS or FAT32 (or any other non-Linux) filesystems does not support the Linux permissions.
