What's the goal? What will you do with the profile once it's on the thumb drive?
Sentinel only offers the option of exporting favorites lists and display files. Click on file then export favorite or display, you can then copy that file and paste to the USB drive if that's what you actually want. Profiles are stored in documents>uniden> x36HP>profile. select from there.
I'm not sure what you can do with these files.

If you want to have a backup then use a SD card reader, or the scanner itself with a connected USB cable and set to Mass Storage mode, and copy the whole SD card to a backup folder or a backup SD card you keep together with the scanner or in your wallet.
If you only want to restore the profile settings you read the SD card but choose not to overwrite Sentinel with any favorite lists. You can also manually copy only one specific profile folder from SD card or backup folder on the harddrive back into the document folder.

If it was me and I wanted to have a backup copy of all my Profiles and Favorites Lists, here is what I would do.
Start Sentinel. Go to Tools>Options and make a note of the location of the Sentinel Folder. Then I'd close Sentinel and get into Windows Explorer, navigating to that Sentinel Folder location. I'd copy all of the contents to a thumbdrive.
I prefer this option because duplicating the programming to a second SD card only gets the active Profile and those Favorites Lists downloaded to the scanner. Any other Profiles or Favorites Lists that you have created, but are not "active" won't be written.
That was before I got real paranoid about losing files. Now I'm doing external drive backups on a scheduled basis as well as Carbonite.
