Sorry but you will have to back them files up if you put a new image on but if you can ftp to your box then it's a piece of p#ss

Edit: Why don't you just flp a service & bouquet files for your area to your box it will be much easier than putting a new image on

All you do is ftp the services.tar.gz file to the /tmp file, don't extract it on your PC beforehand.

Then select the ServicesRestore option in the User Features menu.

You should always keep a copy of the /var/keys and /var/scce folders on your PC anyway for safe keeping or emergencies incase you need to reflash.

You can also take a full backup of the image using the BackupImage option in the User Feature menu. Assuming you're using the DK v1.1 image.
