If you installed from the sourceforge tarball you can set the location anywhere 
you want.  However it is a very common problem with packaged (rpm/deb) 
installations that people try to move the storage location after installation 
and it doesn't work to simply change $TopDir once it is set.  But, I didn't 
think that was your problem since you were at backup 150 before seeing a 
problem.   There is still the possibility of a physical disk error.  External 
drives aren't all that reliable - but that should be reported in 'dmesg'.
