 +==== Persistent opt ====
 +
 +If persistent opt is used on a USB drive, in most situations, it results in less writing to the usb drive. Most people change settings in opt, less often than they backup.
 +
 +When setting up persistent opt in a USB drive, it is ideal to use the [[UUID]].
 +
 +To set up persistent opt, edit the bootloader configuration file, adding persistent opt (/mnt/sda1/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf. It may be a partition other than sda1.).
 +
 +You should already have tce=UUID="9aff3da3-474d-440d-bb6c-3240afe84ac6" (the number will be different). To set up persistent opt, copy the UUID number for opt, like this
 +
 +<code>opt=UUID="9aff3da3-474d-440d-bb6c-3240afe84ac6" tce=UUID="9aff3da3-474d-440d-bb6c-3240afe84ac6"</code>
 +
 +Use the UUID number for your USB drive.
 +
 +After setting up persistent opt, edit /opt/.filetool.lst, and remove all references to opt, so it is not included in backup.
