According to the message I was also thinking it had to do with rights on my new installed system At last I found that the pointer to the backup directory was the problem. As the external hard drive was already re/dicognized I entered the path from there to the directory. When I tried again I entered the full path starting /media/username/externalhdname/directory/directory.
