Hi manit123
Yes, you could copy the file somewhere else in your home directory. Add a copy command in the shutdown.sh
script to save it and another copy command in the bootlocal.sh script to restore it.

Is there a way I can run a script after everything is mounted i.e my pendrive , loop tcz etc.
Then usually I get my pendrive as /mnt/sda1
so I will add to it
sudo cp  /mnt/sda1/my-customised-settings/operaprefs.ini   ~/.opera-11/

Add to /opt/bootlocal.sh
Omit sudo.

Use the LABEL or UUID form of the tce= boot option.
Since you can't be sure what device the USB will be, use /etc/sysconfig/tcedir.

do you mean
 /etc/sysconfig/tcedir gets saved in backup.

No, /etc/sysconfig/tcedir is a symlink to the tce dir found or specified in the boot options.

sorry for my late reply .
  I see /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/ points to /tmp/tce

Then you do not have a tce directory on the root of drive found at boot.
Either use a proper tce= boot option, or manually create the directory..
If this drive is a flash deive, do not forget waitusb=5 boot code.
