Denied Qubes.USB

Hello,

Restart to use Qubes after years of not using it, hard stuff.
I am trying to use an external SSD USB to do the backup of my Qubes. I am using the sys-usb Qubes for all my usb devices. When trying to attach my external SSD to the sys-usb Qubes, I have this error message: Denied Qubes.USB Denied qubes.USB+3-2 from sys-usb to sys-usb

When checking on my dom0 for the /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.USB I have this: $anyvm $anyvm deny

What to do ? Thx

Dont attach it to the sys-usb qube. It’s already there.
Until you attach it elsewhere, the external device will appear in
sys-usb as a block device at /dev/sda or similar.
Use the devices gui to attach the device or partition where you want
it.

I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.
When I comment in the Forum I speak for myself.
