You don't have a problem with quota's.  You have problem with mount.  Check
your output.

I don't understand what you mean by having a problem with mount. I checked
my output multiple times but don't see what you mean.
/backup is unmounted, but that's correct, this partition is only mounted
during the backup process, quota's aren't enabled fort his partition. This
is for 32bitserver.

For 64bitserver it's a little different, there the problem resides on the /
partition. That partition is always mounted offcourse :-) But a quotaoff
gives device busy for /. In earlier versions of FreeBSD we didn't have these
'problem'.
