  1. First, insert your Kali Linux live USB drive into your computer's USB port.

  2. Boot your computer from the USB drive.

  3. Once Kali Linux is up and running, open the Terminal.

  4. Type in "sudo fdisk -l" (without quotes) in the Terminal to list all your connected drives.

  5. Identify the USB drive from the list. Usually, it will be formatted as "sdb" or "sdc."

  6. Create a folder on the desktop with a descriptive name, such as "Kali Linux USB Backup."

  7. Type in "sudo mkdir /mnt/usb" (without quotes) in the Terminal to create a mount point for the USB drive.

  8. Type in "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb" (without quotes) in the Terminal to mount the USB drive.

  9. Locate the files you want to save to the USB drive.

  10. Copy the files and paste them into the folder you created on the desktop.

  11. Close all open windows and programs.

  12. Type in "sudo umount /mnt/usb" (without quotes) in the Terminal to unmount the USB drive.

  13. Eject the USB drive from the computer.

  14. Your files are now saved onto the Kali Linux live USB drive.
