does saving cable and enigma files save a scan

Not sure what you're asking?

When you do a scan, the 'services' file in /var/tuxbox/config/enigma is updated.
When you edit/create bouquets, there is a file in the same directory called 'bouquets' which is edited. The actual bouquet is also stored in /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/cable. If you backup the /enigma folder, it will backup all settings on your box. (for dm500)

If you are using the DK v1 image, you can do a Yellow > User Features > ServicesBackup and it will create a file in /tmp called services.tar.gz. Hope this to your PC and this is your services and bouquets backup. If you want to restore them, choose the ServicesRestore option.

ok thanks devil fish its half the battle getting the correct question so here goes ,,with eurovox if you save the cdf you save the last scan and this saves a lot of aggro im comapring dm500 to eurvox

[Devilfish]

Never had a eurovox so not sure. The services file is the scan file.

ok Im getting it now,,the service file holds the last scan say "bruteforce" for instance

[Devilfish]

The services file holds all the frequencies and transponder ids for every channel found during the last scan. It won't mention bruteforce or anything like that, that's just a name assigned to the scanning option.

If you open it with Wordpad you'll see what I mean.

Use dreamboxedit.exe and import the files to your pc and this will be the last scan you did same as saving the cdf files on your pc.

in the cable and enigma folders there are 19 files ..so i only need to save the "services" and "bouquets" ?? Ive just been going thru the folders,,

Download a copy of dreamboxedit.exe this is the dnupman equivalent and than use that to connect to your dreambox and stopping worrying about the files. this program will copy the bouquets and services files automatically same as dnupman does in the cdf files.
