    Upgrade from 3.x to 4.0 >>> Saving/Restoring for the upgrade

    Got it upgraded! However, backup didn't work. Not a big deal just re-installed application and restored that backup. Worked out better. Now if I can just get a HDD passed to a KVM I would be happy. Thanks again for the help.

    Hold the phone! Think I got it. Formatted a 1TB in ext4, mounted that dude and trying to backup to that. It's working on it now. -that did the trick. No wonder the backup to the USB failed, the backup is 92GB!
