How to mount USB Hard disk via Webmin

I am running ClearOS server version 5.2. This ClearOS is installed on my HP Proliant DL180G6 rack server series. In this tutorial I will show you how I mount a USB disk (external hard disk) to backup my data stored in  my server via Webmin. I do not explain how to install webmin on ClearOS in this post.

To mount a USB disk via webmin, please follow these steps:

First, plug the USB disk to the server. Then open webmin. You can do this by typing the address below on Firefox or any other browser.

https://192.168.1.99:10000  “"change the IP address match with your server IP. Then click Disk and Network File System on the webmin page. You should see similar to this page.

Now Click Add Mount button and select the File System type from the list. See my example below.

Specify the Disk, Mount point and some other settings on this page. Have a try.
