Comment:

 There are two mechanisms I considered for performing this kind of action.
 First, we can add a "copy contents to..." action on any storage device in
 the tray, which offers any other storage devices as targets.  This would
 make it simple to copy the Journal to a backup disk, or copy all the
 content on a flash drive into the Journal.

 The second and less well defined method involves the selection checkbox
 system, which would allow one to create a selection of multiple entries in
 the Journal and act on them at once, with one of the available actions
 being "copy to..."

 Tomeu, can you give implementation estimates on these approaches?  The
 former is obviously a lot easier, and might still be useful in the field.
 As a follow-up question, can you currently drag one device icon onto
 another device icon to do the same thing?  Enabling that would also make
 sense.
