I boot Raspberry Pi’s from USB Flash Drives and have been trying to utilize the bkup_rpimage found on GitHub. I changed the drive to point to the USB Flash Drive in the bkup_rpimage.sh file; however, please note that the comments referring to the SD card were not changed in this file. I have used the exact model and size of the boot USB Flash Drive and, also, used the same model USB Flash Drive that doubles the size of the boot USB Flash Drive. The same errors (below) were generated for both USB Flash Drives when the backup script was run. Is a larger USB Flash Drive required? Any help with solving this will be appreciated.
