Henry,
Don't forget to do a umount (either of umount /dev/sda1 or umount /mnt/usb
should work). If it doesn't unmount, make sure that you've cd'ed out of
/mnt/usb and try again (umount won't work if the current directory of a
shell session or program includes the mounted filesystem).
If you just remove the usb stick without the umount bad things happen.
Regards,
Doug.

Yes that works, but when I removed the stick it showed the file but could
not (of course) access it
Plugging it back in again removed the file and showed an empty directory.

Hmmm. Doesn't look like it is "mounted" yet. I just googled "linux how
to mount usb drive"...
Create the directory
mkdir /mnt/usb
Next, mount the drive
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
Then, see if it works:
cd /mnt/usb
ls
You should see a list of the files on your USB drive.

(NOTE: I don't know much about FreePBX)
If you can get to the console, type "mount" and that should give you a
listing of "mounted" filesystems.
If FreePBX mounted the USB drive, you'll be good to go and you can just
copy
(cp) the files to that location.

Hi all, as many are aware FreePBX has a backup and restore function
that
can schedule a backup of conf, cdr, and vmail.
This works very well but I need to back the files up to a USB stick
instead
of a default backup directory.
My question (not being a good Linux man) is how do I the redirect the
backup path to this device.
When I plug the stick in, the consule indicates that the stick is
recognised and is working but does't tell me where
in the directory structure to find it.
Help please?
