Hi Burno

In addition to my last email, I have noticed one more anomaly.
When the error is displayed FAILED to create USB# 1, if I delete the EFI
directory from usb folder mount. It proceeds normally and finishes the
backup with Success message. But then it deletes everything from the USB.
Looking at the logs, I can see mondoarchive has issued a command rm -rf
/tmp/mondo.XXXXXX, this is where the USB device was mounted
/tmp/mondo.xxxxxx/usb and it deletes all contents of the USB too.

I think the problem is that rm -rf /tmp/mondo.xxxxxx is issued before USB
is unmounted hence the lost of data.
I have also noticed, even though USB contents are deleted by the mondo's rm
-rf command mentioned above, usb stays mounted within the directory
/tmp/mondo.xxxxxx/usb  but it is empty. So this means USB device is never
unmounted after completion.

So in my honest opinion, just needs two things to fix it,

1. Fix the EFI folder getting created early and mondoarchive complaining
that folder already exists and fails the backup.
2. umount the USB device before issuing rm -rf /tmp/mondo.xxxx command.

I hope this may fix the problem.

Thanks
