If you wish to send your backup to a [USB mass storage device](/doc/stick-mounting/), you can use the directory selection widget to mount a connected device (under "Other locations" item on the left); or first mount the device in a VM, then select the mount point inside that VM as the backup destination.

You must also specify a directory on the device or in the VM, or a command to be executed in the VM as a destination for your backup. For example, if you wish to send your backup to the `~/backups` folder in the target VM, you would simply browse to it using the convenient directory selection dialog (`...`) at the right. This destination directory must already exist. If it does not exist, you must create it manually prior to backing up.
