Just achieve this by add on the /etc/fstab exactly below :

## Backup disk on usbdrive TOSHIBA
/dev/sdc1       /media/crashplan        ext4    defaults,auto,_netdev    0    0


Of course the  ##   means what is next is a comment.
default,aotu,_netdev        help me to get my usb drive mounted during boot.  Without that, it could no work.

Title:
  External USB Hard Drive fails to mount on boot from fstab

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When an external USB HD is entered into fstab it fails to mount at
  startup with the following error message.

  "Mounting local filesystems...
  mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist."

  I get the same error if using the UUID instead of /dev/sdb1in the
  fstab

  In any case the drive mounts correctly with mount -a once the machine
  has booted.

  I believe this behaviour started after a recent 8.10 update because it
  used to work fine.  The problem persists after upgrading to 9.04
