from command line you can use 'gnome-mount --help'
# gnome-mount -d /dev/sda1

or mount the device on a know folder es:
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/mydisk

Create first time the folder's backup:
# mkdir /mnt/mydisk/backup

then:

# test -d /mnt/mydisk/backup &&
rsync -avz -H -R /etc /home/user /mnt/mydisk/backup

Hope this help.
