Try changing that save location in the entry input to just home.
The title of the input slot is already set to put it in /mnt/
I seem to remember it is just asking where in /mnt/??

the way you have it.
You are saying, put it in /mnt/mnt/home

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

That you for the quick reply.

Is there a file I can edit or a command I can type to change the location because the GUI is frozen meaning I can't change the location at all. I can close the window just fine tho...

I fear your current session changes are lost and will not be saved.

But to alleviate your current problem of space in that saved file, This might help as it will allow you to increase space in it.

  1. Ctrl-Alt-Bkspace key to exit the desktop.

  2. restart the desktop with "xwin" command.

  3. Click FossaPUP64's Menu>Utility>Resize Personal storage.

I believe the resize will NOT take affect until after a reboot. As such things in your current session will not be included.

Thank you for the help...

I managed to solve the issues by moving files from /mnt/home to another partition giving it enough space for the back up. After that, there was enough room and the nagging window went away. :thumbup: :thumbup2:
