# The volume cannot be in use when GuestFs clones it, which we do below
And I shutdown Tails and wait for the computer to power off 9.358
And I clone USB drive "__internal" to a temporary USB drive "backup" 6.332
Given I have started Tails without network from a USB drive with a persistent partition enabled and logged in 14.438
And I write a file "/live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/new" with contents "foo" 0.767
When I start Tails' custom backup tool 6.584
Then the backup tool displays "Plug in your backup Tails USB stick" 0.759
