In reply to Indranil Kamulkar. Remove the inverted quotes around usb:///dev/disk/by-label/REAR-000. Instead, it should read:

OUTPUT=USB
BACKUP=NETFS
BACKUP_URL=usb:///dev/disk/by-label/REAR-000

Dear Group:

The instructions for making a rescue system, rescue disk, on a USB Thumb Drive are clear. Can you make a combined rescue system and backup on a single USB External Hard Drive?

The instructions suggest you can but seem oriented towards using a Thumb Drive. If this is possible with a USB External Hard Drive, please advise me on the correction configuration. Also, if this is possible, you should be able to boot from USB External Hard Drive. Is this true?

Best Regards,

Paul Romero

@William,
