The set up of the device for the backup is database and backup software dependent and since we don´t know, which database and what software you use, we can´t help you.

And: URGENT calls should be handled using OSS (or a local consultant).

Gopal,

You need to know what is your usd disk device file when it is connected to your linux box. You can find that out from /var/log/messages when you are connected

then mount the devcive file for instance you have found out that the device file for your usb disk is /dev/sda1 then mount that to any unused directory. If you are unsure which directory to use create a new one.. here is the typical steps

mkdir /mnt/mypendrive

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/mypendrive

If there is no error then you may copy anything in you linux box to the pendrive. For example I want to copy my /usr/mydata

cp -r /usr/mydata /mnt/pendrive

regards,

Marjan
