Select the desire image file from the list.
Confirm the operation to start.
A progress screen will show during the operation.
Respond to prompt at end of operation.

If you are unsure if enough space is available on the Rescue stick, follow the section below to check.
Select option 1.
Select the device with the "system" label, this is typically sdb.
Enter the name of the image to be saved as.
Confirm the operation to start.
A progress screen will show during the operation.
Respond to prompt at end of operation.
Check available space on Rescue stick.
Open a terminal, mount the Rescue stick and check the available space, typically 8 to 10Gbyte available is good:
# mkdir /mnt/usb
# mount -L RUSBACKUP /mnt/usb
# df -h /mnt/usb
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sde1 30G 13G 18G 42% /mnt/usb
If the mount returns an error, try replacing the RUSBACKUP with DVSBACKUP.
If there isn't enough space, do this to find out where they are used:
# du -chs /mnt/usb/*
Contact support with the output for next step. We can delete older versions of the image folder to make more space.
