Backup to USB thumb from console

gudlife
More of a linux question than anything else...


I have a dying v8 software appliance on which webadmin will no longer start.  Tried restarting httpd etc to no avail.  

Planning on replacing hardware and upgrading to 9 while I'm at it.

I only have console access on the v8 box and I was hoping to grab one last backup.

I ran backup.plx -o backupfile.abf

How do I go about getting it on a USB?

    Hi, 

    I'm assuming you know which directory the .abf file is in, and are in that directory...

    run
    tail -f /var/log/kernel.log 

    Plug a USB stick into the system, and see where it gets mounted by reading the log. 
    Hit CTRL-C to stop the log.

    cp backupfile.abf
