    You don't say, but I assume you put the SATA drive in the enclosure 
and plugged it in the USB port on your computer. Is this correct?

    This makes me think you didn't plug the whole external thing into 
your computer, just the hard drive, right?

    You need to make the external system work before you back up.

    You had better check out just how well the hard drive is wired to the

ACOMDATA

enclosure. Start there and get the the external to mount automatically. 
Turn off whatever you have in /etc/fstab before you go farther.
