Image Backup

[riocht]

Hello, is it possible to backup an image on a 500c to the temp folder and then store it on a pc using FlashFXP ? ( just like its done on a Dbox2 )
Cheers and thanks for any help.

It is indeed.

Log into telnet and paste this command...

cat /dev/mtd/3 > /tmp/backup.img

A backup.img file will be in the /tmp folder.

DW images have a menu for this purpose via the BLUE button.

Got it and its working perfect on the second box. What would we do without you.
Thanks a million for all your help.

how do I use this option with 800HD? What location should my command point to? /dev/mtd/3 doesnt work which is not suprising.
