RescueBRU uses an NFS server, portable USB drive, or a local 
directory to store backup images.

Showing backups available on media

Option 7 of the RescueBRU main menu (Show backups available on 
media) does what the name implies. The available backups are listed 
by name showing the date and time.

An important note about using the Local media type for backup/restore:

If you use the local media type, be aware that the drive designation 
(sda, sdb, etc.) will very likely be different than what it is in 
the machine the drive is to be used in. For example, if you back up 
the drive using the NFS media type, the drive designation may be 
sda. If you remove this drive and install it in a RescueBRU server 
machine, it may get designated sdc. Attempting to restore it like 
this may result in overwriting the server's image storage drive! The 
rule of thumb is that the same media type must be used for both the 
backup and the restore. If you back it up with NFS, restore it with 
NFS. If you back it up with Local, restore it with Local.
