Once again, thank you all for your help, much appreciated.

I do have one question,
why is the "perform backup to removable media" option not available inside Server-Manager, in the "Backup or restore server data" section, but it is only visible when one SSH as Admin?

that is a good question...

probably for the very same reason there is not yet an automatic backup when you plug your drive  https://bugs.koozali.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4742

or why there is no manual workstation backup https://bugs.koozali.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5702

.... missing developer time

and also because the NFR has not been raised against e-smith-backup : https://bugs.koozali.org/buglist.cgi?action=wrap&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=CONFIRMED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&bug_status=IN_PROGRESS&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&cf_package=e-smith-backup&classification=SME%20Server&component=Build&component=Cleanup&component=Console&component=e-smith-%2A%2Fsmeserver-%2A%20packages&component=Installer&component=Kernel%20modules&component=New%20Feature%20Request&component=Security&component=server-manager&component=Translations&component=Unknown&component=Webmail&list_id=94600&product=SME%20Server%2010.X&product=SME%20Server%208.X&product=SME%20Server%209.X&product=SME%20Server%20Future&resolution=---&resolution=FIXED&saved_report_id=11

so first you could raise the NFR bug ;)
