ok i used the guide here to back up my image which is
To telnet, click START > RUN and type Telnet ip.address.of.dreambox
A command window will appear, enter username root and password dreambox.
To backup an image using Telnet
Telnet to the box and paste the following command:
Code: Check this link (http://mirrorchecker.com/linkchecker2.php?url=cat%20/dev/mtd/3%20%3E%20/tmp/backup.img)
cat /dev/mtd/3 > /tmp/backup.img
FTP to the box and navigate to the /tmp
Here you will find the backup.img file.
i have a few questions
1/ will this save my motor postions for sats as i cant get all the channels of sats atomatic without fine motor movements which is very time consuming?
2/ will this save my all my bouquets? and sats as im using nabilosat darkstar 2 i had to change manually sats like 28.2 as it was seeing that as 28.4 and thor 0.8w also to 1west will it save this and be working when i reflash it?
3/ the normal nabilosat darkstar 2 image is 4.77mb and the back up i made is 7.75 is that normal it to be twice the size?
4/ is it safe to flash this image by telnet or is it more risky than using the normal nabilosat darkstar image?
