I know that the server has except the USB. But I don't know how to do a backup to the USB and a Restore. Can anybody give me a line by line help???  I have 2 servers that be upgraded to 7.4 I have had to install all the information by hand to the server because no one could tell me how to install from a backup!!

Can Somebody tell me how to make the server to do a backup to the USB? Then Also do a restore from the USB??

And Marry Christmas to all. Happy New Year

yep i have the same problem. nice of all these kind folk to reply so soon. i hope you worked it out...

7.4 restore only seems to work from clean install. if you transfer your backup to iso and mount the cd post setup it will restore your config--yay!
