Interesting.   Deja Dup has explicit support for mountable external
drives like this.  But it seems to not be kicking in here (you can tell
because your org.gnome.DejaDup.File "type" setting is "normal" instead
of "volume").

How is this hard drive connected?  Normal USB?  How did you select it in
the preferences (i.e. did you say, "Local Folder" then type in a path or
did you select the drive from the drop down directly)?

Title:
  deja-dup causes Unity to crash when backup device isn't available

Status in Déjà Dup Backup Tool:
  Incomplete
Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When the backup location is not mounted, Déjà Dup will not fail
  gracefully and will cause major slowdowns and lockups on the system
  when it launches automatically. (I've had to kill it by switching to
  tty1 and issuing `killall -9 deja-dup deja-dup-monitor`.) This is a
  major problem, especially on portable computers where a backup device
  may not always be connected.
