my NABILO .NFI
how to run
build-nfi-image.sh ?

 

[mpaq99]

It's working here. All I did is to put all the files in the .rar on /hdd (not in /hdd/backup) and chmod 775 all the files to make it easy.
Then just typed :

root@dm800:/# cd /hdd
root@dm800:/media/hdd# ./build-nfi-image.sh /hdd

and got the following

it was on the usb stick this time but its 53.6MB in size thats seems big to me
what do you guys reckon?
when i want to flash it back do i just flash it using the yweb or do i have to use dreamup?

 

[digiworl]

Hello Folks,

But just as ask before.... has someone restore the backup and did it work???
Thx!

 

[Fergalsworld]

Yes it works perfectly after flashing it back on using yweb

 

[digiworl]

No file on my usb stick.
So i think this wont work for me, or has someone a solution to create a backup for a DM800 without HDisk inside. I want to backup my flash on USB. Thx!!!!

 

[Fergalsworld]

Did you mount the usb stick via device manager in the blue/blue button menu and put the files on in from post 3 in this thread
also create a 128mb swap file via swap file settings in the same blue/blue button menu and activate it
or you could just use flashwizard pro to do a backup instead

 

[digiworl]

In the blue button by devices it is mounted as /dev/sda
Model USB Mini R
Size: 1.9GB

How do i create a swap file via the blue button???
i tried the following without succes.....

root@dm800:/media/hdd# ./build-nfi-image.sh /dev/sda

uhmmmm maybe to stupid to creat a backup....
I have Flashwizard Pro 6.3
mabye u can give me the instructions for dummies to work with Flashwizard Pro to make a backup on the usb stick. Would be great!!! if possible! Thx in Advanced!!!

 

[Fergalsworld]

You need to change the mount to media/hdd not /dev/sda
also found this but have never tried it

[digiworl]

Thx Fergalsworld, but that dont work either.
Works with a dreambox 500
but not with a DM800HD PVR without Hdisk.

think the problem is in the swapfile
But how i have to make the swapfile, i really dont know.
Manage with the blue button?... but how? Thx Again... Hope i dont spoile ur Saturday...... Best Regards! and thx for ur help!!!

 

[Fergalsworld]

What image do you have on it.
