Comment 57 for bug 101845

I'm also seeing this problem in 10.10. I use a 400GB Western Digital USB drive (ATA WDC WD5000AAKS-65YGA0 with firmware 12.01C20, according to Disk Utility) for my backups. It is formatted as ext4v1.0 . I use LuckyBackup (a front end to rsync) to perform nightly / weekly / monthly backpus via a cron job (set up by LuckyBackup.)

The volume is named "backups" and is normally mounted under /media as /media/backups. I have noticed that when my machine is restored from hibernation (I mostly hibernate my machine following a backup), the USB drive is mounted under /media/backups_ . If I do not catch the backup operation in time, the backup will be performed under /media/backups - with /media/backups now being a directory under the main partition of my PC's HDD.

I have a few backups being made to the wrong place as a result with my primary HDD nearing full capacity at times and totally messing up my backup regime.
