ok you where able to mount the SD card as well as USB stick? good if rsync complete.

To be able to restore the backup during Initial setup:

1. flash SD card with a new image
2. adjust /boot/dietpi.txt before first boot and adjust following.

```nohighlight
# Restore a DietPi-Backup on first boot: 0 => disable | 1 => interactive restore (show list of found backups) | 2 => non-interactive restore (restore first found backup)
# - Simply attach the drive/disk/stick with contains the backup. All attached drives will be mounted temporarily and searched automatically.
AUTO_SETUP_BACKUP_RESTORE=0

```

1. You could set it to 1
2. connect SD card + USB stick to the SBC
3. boot your SBC
4. usually the initial setup should detect your backup now
