Hi all,
I'm unable to find FAQ/Wiki/documentation to clone/backup USB boot drive.
According to Don't clone FreeNAS USB drives! I shouldn't clone using tools such as "USB Image Tool" , that's fine, got it.
However, the proposed procedure in that thread, specifically, "Create a new drive" "Boot it up, copy the files to it" doesn't make sense to me.
It's frustrating that a basic requirement doesn't have a proven solution. If it's so easy, can someone write a set of bash commands I can execute for achieving this task?
Otherwise, if it's such a common topic, wouldn't it make sense for developers of FreeNAS to include a button to execute - "Clone Boot USB to another" option in GUI and be done with it?
R's, Alex
