Different USB-Disks/Sticks and have been tested and it was observed that external USB-Drives with external Power run error free, but some USB-Sticks and USB-Disks powered by the USB port bus, can have issues (possibly low voltage/Hal-Daemon problems).

===Restore on initial reboot after fresh OS install - How to Reset option===
 +
 +
A full Restore from a backup file (eg located on a USB drive) is only recommended to be done immediately after installing a fresh sme server operating system. If this option is not selected on the first reboot, then the option is no longer available on subsequent reboots.
 +
 +
To make this option available, log in as root do the following:
 +
 +
config delete PasswordSet
 +
config setprop bootstrap-console Run Yes
 +
signal-event reboot
 +
 +
If using this technique, please ensure you have a "clean" system, with no users, groups or ibays etc configured.
 +
 +
If there are any users/groups/files added to the system since installation, then the results of the restore will be undefined and probably undesirable.
 +
 +
For example, if ibays were previously configured, then these will still be in the file system but they will not be displayed in server manager.
