SME Server, Full Backup to USB device

[admin]

Start by connecting the USB Harddisk and format it to the ext3 file system.

To format it, login as root, then:

Code:
fdisk -l
to see all the disk your system has reconized, you should see the one you want (seems to be /dev/sda)

Code:
fdisk /dev/sda
you'll have a menu to manage the partition on the disk, remove every existing partitions with the 'd' option. Then create a new one with the 'n' option (type primary, and you can let the default options if you just want one big partition using all the space). Once it's done, write the changes to the partition table with the 'w' option. Now you have a partition, you need to create a file system on it:

Code:
mkfs.ext3 -m 1 -L LABEL /dev/sda1
replacing LABEL by the name you want for the partition. Then, your USB disk should be ready.

Then access the SME Server Console (On the server, not the remote server-manager) as admin and select option 8 - backup to USB device
Then just follow the instructions
