#. :ref:`Setup SSH Access<ssh>` and connect to your server via SSH. Elevate yourself to root once in:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo -i
#. Any previously added Network Folder backup location (or physical drive) will be available. Enter the following command:
.. code-block:: bash
embassy-cli backup target list
.. figure:: /_static/images/backups/backup-target-list.png
:width: 60%
#. Select the backup target from the available list. In this example, we could use either ``disk-/dev/sdb1`` or ``cifs-1``:
.. code-block:: bash
embassy-cli backup target mount disk-/dev/sdb1 "YourMasterPasswordGoesHere"
.. figure:: /_static/images/backups/backup-mount.png

#. `ls` the directory to inspect it, and continue any other operations necessary:
