Or at least search for them, I know for sure you would have found this on the keyword 'backup' when searching the wiki.

Sorry this is not quite what i was looking for, this has to do with tape backups.
I am looking for any documentation on the "8. Perform backup to USB device." that on the SME Server console at the bottom of the list onversion 7.4

Sorry but article that is the answer, as it covers all backups. The standard restore inclusion list referred to, is used by all backup & restore methods. Tape backup additionally backs up all files on the server, but only restores the standard list of files.
USB backup is the same as backup to desktop or backup to workstation, as far as file inclusions are concerned.
