If you use a USB drive as a target device, then you should use the -U option for mondoarchive not -i for iso.
Look at the man page for details.

It seems you changed the mindi.conf file to add USBDEVICE="/dev/sdb" however, that's not how it should be done !!
You should use -U -d /dev/sdb instead as mentioned in the example section of the man page.

You have another problem:
/sbin/mindi: line 3152: mr-getparam: command not found
You need to install the perl-MondoRescue package as well (the latest version of the mindi rpm requires it so I'm not sure how you installed the SW).

HTH,
Best regards,
Bruno.
