Just before trying to upgrade from F-40 to F-41, I did a back-up to a
USB 3 stick.
Too late now, but never consider a USB stick as a back-up. It's flakey
technology. I only use them as sneakernet tech.
I don't know if "dd" can be used to try to duplicate a failed drive
over to something else to safely experiment on a rescue. There is a
"ddrescue" tool with that kind of thing in mind.
Having looked at the man page, I couldn't make sense of how I should use
these for this situation.
By the way, the stick was not bootable; it's 16GB.
