The openmediavault-usbbackup plugin is designed to automate the process of backing up data from an OMV server to an external USB drive. Unlike scheduled rsync jobs that run over a network, this plugin is event-driven. It is ideal for "Rotation Backup" schemes where an administrator physically connects a drive, waits for the backup to complete, and swaps the drive for off-site storage.
