Is there a straightforward way to backup a LUN to an externally attached USB drive? F4-223 is that matters.

What I am doing presently (well just figured it out today) is taking a LUN snapshot, then copying (for now) the snapshot file to the USB drive.
Copy done presently by SSH in and then doing the copy. Next attempt would possibly be scheduling the snapshot and then using a custom scheduled task to just copy the snapshot file to the USB. Robocopy if I get the options correct.

What would really be ideal is the option to add a line or command to scheduled snapshot job entry.

I don't know about the LUN side, but you can select 'Customize' in scheduled tasks and write it as a shell script. I have a simple one with 3 or 4 lines of 'find' commands to clean out old pictures. Runs every night, reliably, (under Tos5.1). Keeps a log and emails me the results using built in options.

Thank you for sharing
