==== Option 8: Perform backup to USB device ====
Attach a USB Device and follow the prompts.
The compression level of the backup *.tgz file can be altered by the "db configuration setprop backupconsole CompressionLevel=value" this then will decrease or increase the time taken to create the backup.
To regulate the speed of compression using the specified digit n, where `-1' indicates the fastest compression method (less compression) and or `-9' indicates the slowest compression method (optimal compression). The default compression level is `-6' (that is, biased towards high compression at expense of speed).
Setting level of compression via custom db setting
db configuration setprop backupconsole CompressionLevel=-9
To restore this type of USB Backup, perform a clean install and when prompted if you wish to restore attach the USB Drive.
{{Warning box|If the USB Drive is left attached during the install it will be formatted !!}}
