I trying to write on to /media/backup , but it is a read-only file sys, how do I change it to rw. the above command
is not doing it.

so there must be a reson why it is only mounted read-only

again:
what does "dmesg" say or what appears in /var/log/messages
after trying tou remount RW - it is laways the same: without
providing any information nobody can help you

mount -o remount,rw /

sda3 is /

/var/log/messages;
Jul  6 11:29:28 presleys kernel: [52473.469114] EXT4-fs (sda3): re-mounted. Opts: (null)

well so what let you come to the conclusion it is MOUNTED read-only?
what says "mount | grep sda3"?

i doubt you are only kacing write-permissions
this has nothing to do with read-only

is this still the same computer of your freind
where you trying to rescue data since days?

if yes - PLEASE be a friend to him and consult someone which
is knowing what he is doing - appearently you are only shooting
in the dark which sooner or later ends in data finally lost!

# mount | grep sda3

/dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data="">
