If you just made a directory in /media/ and don't have the hard drive
mounted to that directory, then you're sorta umm, not really backing
up to the external hard drive.
Did you make sure that you're mounting your drive to /media/disk-1/ ?
you could add a fstab line for the drive. Then, when you plug it into
your computer, you could have it automount correctly.
Changing the label works just as well.

 Good luck.
