Full Backup?

Does anyone know how i can make a full image backup?

I want to make a full backup inc keys ect. I want to use dreamup to restore the backed up image back to the dreambox.

You can use FlashWizardPro to make a full back.

Or

Telnet to the box (start > run > telnet <ip.address.of.box)

Username : root
Password : dreambox

Paste the following command...

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

A backup.img file will be created in /tmp. FTP to box and copy to PC.

I have done the Telnet command. But when i try and restore the image using dreamup i get the image back on but no keys, config files etc?

Did you copy the backup.img file to your PC from the /tmp folder on the box, then use that to flash again?

Honest, it works!

You can also use this command...

cd /tmp && eraseall /dev/mtd/3 && cp backup.img /dev/mtd/3 && reboot

...to flash an image that's been copied to the /tmp folder. Just rename it to backup.img first.

The telnet works great as the backup image went back on perfect with all keys, configs etc

Still can not get dreamup to do the full backup tho? After dreamup as restored the image and the box resets its like a blank image again no config files at all?

Only want to use dreamup because my friend does my headin comes around every week to reset his box as he always f*cks it up. Just thinking if i can get dreamup to restore a full image even he can do that.

Shame it dont work for me lol

You using Universal DreamUP V1.2.2.0 ?

Anyways time for work night shift will try again tomorrow

give him flashwizardpro that is easy to use.

Dreamup has worked for me. A base image with no keys, emu or services takes about 7 minutes to upload and flash. An image with everything in it can take about 12 minutes to upload and flash.

Try using another version of dreamup.
