Hello! I just installed my first system using XFS filesystem, and the xfsdump utility seems interesting. I was following this guide about it, but it does not mention anything about the /media mount point: if I have a USB drive full of files mounted in /media/HDD1 and run

xfsdump -f /data/wholesystem.xfsdump /

will the files on the USB be backupped as well? and what about the /home directory?

    Assuming that /home resides on the same filesystem, and is not a separate mountpoint, yes.
