Backup using USB-stick does not work

  • Hi,


    OMV 3 is running on a HP microserver gen8 with a software-raid5 and 4 HDDs.


    At the moment I would like to backup the system disk to a usb 16GB-flash drive. That´s why I installed the plugin openmediavault-backup.
    I plugged in the usb stick into one of the front-ports. OMV is showing the stick in file systems as intergrated /dev/sdg1.
    But, by pressing on "create" ("erstellen"), there is no device to choose.


    I think, that´s why I can´t choose the stick as shared folder in the plugin, so it can´t backup the system to this shared folder/USB stick.


    Could someone tell me how to solve this problem ? I just want to backup the system to an USB-Stick.

    If you see a filesystem in the filesystems tab already, then that is why you can't create a new filesystem. You could mount it though. Otherwise, a quick wipe in the physical disks tab will allow you to create a new filesystem and mount it.

    You can only select devices that have been mounted by the OMV web interface for shared folders.

    Just remember that the usb stick will not be bootable.
