The way I would do it;

1. Use Dreamup to flash an image
2. Copy your cables.xml file to var/etc
3. Copy your bouquets across using dreamboxedit.exe
4. Copy your keys and scce files across using ftp program
5. Press Blue Button to download Evocamd 2.14 and restart cam.
6. Reboot dreambox

Sorry m8 I should have said ftp (file transfer protocol). You will need an ftp program such as Smartftp or Coreftp. In dreambox language copying and ftping are the same thing.
