Hi,

This is my 1st post. Tot i'll share on my successful image backup.

Dreambox DM500C
Dreamup Version: 1.3.3.9 installed in Win 7 64 bit
Connection: USB to RS232 Adapter with null modem cable + local network

* Tip: Buy the "ATen USB-RS232 adapter" from SLS #03-69 ( i think its $25.00 )
( dun save on $$$, cheap ones may give u problem in newer OS )

At first, i tried to backup using purely null modem cable, but got backup error after 3-4 seconds. Changing Dreamup version does not help.

Solution:
Use Null Modem Cable + Tick "Use Network" in Dreamup and enter local and remote ip address. Make sure that dreambox and PC is connected to local network.
Boom ... Backup in less than 5 mins

** I would assume you have already connected the dreambox to your local network correctly, if not pls do not try **

That's it. Hope this helps.

Good man, just be careful setting PC I.P. address. If connected to router use ROUTER I.P. address. If connected to P.C. via LAN
use LAN I.P. address, usually 192.168.0.1
