Just bought a chromebox today.. everything works great until I get to the step of creating a backup of the firmware. It reads every device I've connected however once I try to create the backup it says "Special Device 1 does not exist" Backup device failed to mount: cannot proceed". I've tried 2 SD's and 1 USB. Any idea of how to get it to work?

Make sure the device you are using has a single fat32 partition on it. The script isn't currently robust enough to handle more exotic setups. I'll double check things later tonight just to be sure nothing is amiss

I will definitely check and try a few other devices. Thanks

Also, be sure you are also typing out the full device name to be used for the backup. In almost all cases, it's going to be '/dev/sdb'. Perhaps in the next version of the script I will make it menu driven so you can just pick the number corresponding to the drive. But the error msg you relayed suggests you didn't type out the device name
