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. 

Thanks for anserwering!!!!
