 3. Select the destination for the backup:
 
-   - If you wish to send your backup to a [USB mass storage device](/doc/stick-mounting/), select the device in the drop-down box next to **Device** (feature removed in R3, select appropriate **Target AppVM** and mount the stick with one click in file selection dialog).
+   - For R2 and earlier: If you wish to send your backup to a [USB mass storage device](/doc/stick-mounting/), select the device in the drop-down box next to **Device**.
+   - For R3 and later: Select appropriate **Target AppVM** and mount the stick with one click in file selection dialog. (Writing directly to USB has been removed in favor of dedicated, running AppVMs.)
    - If you wish to send your backup to a (currently running) AppVM, select the AppVM in the drop-down box next to **Target AppVM**.
 
    You must also specify a directory on the device or in the AppVM, or a command to be executed in the AppVM as a destination for your backup. For example, if you wish to send your backup to the `~/backups` folder in the target AppVM, you would simply type `backups` in this field. This destination directory must already exist. If it does not exist, you must create it manually prior to backing up.
