Title: backup to usb drive
Post by: jameswilson on May 16, 2017, 01:05:34 AM

I think this is a core option but just in case I'm posting in contribs
I have a drive on usb and backup is failing

Thanks
reading the bug chat i can dump the whole drive and start again as i have another machine backing it up with affa but i like to have multiple backups happening (i have 2 offfsite affa's too)
but im not sure what the command would be for that?
