    Image Backup Prog for DW V1 Image?

    I have been looking for an image backup program that will work with the DW V1 Image.

    I tried the Image FlashBackup at System Tools in the Plugins provided with the Image but it just chewed up the image and I had to reflash. The program was set to - 'SIM2-dreambox', Swapsize at 'Auto' and storage location in the HDD.

    I have seen references to 'gpxflashbackup' but saw that the program used SSL82.

    I would be grateful if someone who has made a backup of the image could tell me what program they used.

    Many thanks.

    Re: Image Backup Prog for DW V1 Image?

    Thanks for the quick response - so I have missed something!

    Should I have setup a directory on the HDD for the backup?

    My prog Settings show for the backup location the HDD model (SAMSUNG...) and 'Selected memory place ' as 'media/hdd'.

    Hope that makes sense. Thanks for your help.

    I had the same problem with tspanel backup program,
    Just use gpxflashbackup and when reflashing your backup just flash the bootloader immediately after,

    the bootloader are all on here in the downloads iirc

    Thanks for that.

    Can you recall whether gpxflashbackup creates its own HDD directory for the backup storage?

    Thanks again.

    Yes it does m8,you can change it to media/usb if you want but it creates the "backup" folder itself

    Re: Image Backup Prog for DW V1 Image?

    Sorry to come back on this but I have the .ipk file and have have read that I should -

    'FTP to TMP and install via box menu '

    The .ipk is in volatile/tmp with chmod set to 755 but I cannot see how to proceed - how to install and where to install.

    Would appreciate some guidance please

    put the IPK in /tmp
    go to remote of box and press BLUE
    go to software management
    install local extentions
    memory /tmp
    make sure there is a tick beside the ipk you want to install then press green to install

    box may need to be restarted for plugin to show

    Re: Image Backup Prog for DW V1 Image?

    Thanks for the guidance.

    The plugin shows as 'GP2 FlashBackup'. I kept the swapfile size as 'auto'.

    I ran the ordinary backup (not Debug backup) twice but it failed on both occasions. It left a 48M .nfi file on the HDD but not in the Backup directory it had created even though I pointed it to the save location.

    The good thing is that the program exited without harming the image as the other ptogram had.

    Any ideas where I am going wrong?
