If you try to backup and usb pen drive with the (nice) preinstalled tool "udisk" the program fails with this error:
"Error opening /dev/sdb: Device or resource busy (udisks-error-quark, 0)"
HOW TO REPRODUCE
1) insert an usb pen drive
2) start udisk
3) select "create image disk" (not really shure about the english text string)
4) you will be prompted for the user password, than the program will exit with the error written above.
HOW TO FIX
1) insert the usb pen drive
2) manual umount it (for me "sudo umount /dev/sdb1")
3) launch udisks (you can obviously umount the drive after launching udisks)
4) start the "create image disk" process
5) it will work.
For shure a small bug, but I really believe is that kind of bugs that negatively influence end-user's experience.
It shouldn't be too hard for some developer to add an "umount step" to the script that back up your drive.
