Mount the hard drive and then create a database dump to that mount location of whatever database suite you are using.

1-Mont the hard drive with the command line : udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb1
I have this error:
Error mounting /dev/sdb1: GDBus.Errorrg.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.AlreadyMounted: Device /dev/sdb1 is already mounted at `/media/timase/Seagate Expansion Drive'.

how can I fix it please ?!!

With your external drive plugged in, run the following and share the output.

lsblk

But look at that output your drive is already mounted on '/media/timase/Seagate Expansion Drive'.

You can try unmounting it and then remounting it elsewhere.

sudo umount "/media/feriel/Seagate Expansion Drive"
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

Or you can just leave it mounted where it currently is and the browse to that path and then do your database dump there.
