I have a USB external hard drive for my backups which is formatted ext

I've tried using e2label as follows;-
sudo e2label /media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459_ /media/backup
e2label: Is a directory while trying to open
/media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459_
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
Use tune2fs to set the label of ext2 or ext3 volumes:
tune2fs -L YOUR_LABEL device # as root
where device is something like /dev/..., you'll find it with
grep 8eef3b99 /etc/fstab
So I tried using rename as follows;-
sudo rename /media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459_ /media/backup
Number found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 1, near "/media/8"
(Missing operator before 8?)
Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 1, near "8eef3b99"
(Missing operator before eef3b99?)
syntax error at (eval 1) line 1, near "/media/8"
This would never work.
Then, I think you have to create a permanent directory, if required:
mkdir /media/backup # as root
and then setup the appropriate line in /etc/fstab (the udev way being
more complicated) with something like:
LABEL=YOUR_LABEL /media/backup ext3 rw,user,noauto 0 0
read mount(8) for more details:
man 8 mount
When the disk will be plugged after the system has started, you'll may
have to mount it manually, as a regular user:
mount /media/backup
