back up image

[wilf]

i have got my dm600 working how i want it and now i want to take a back up image with dreamup but when i connect it to box with null modem cable and switch on it says box is networked in http mode .......anyone know what that means? i dont want to change anything in case i loose all my settings.

not familiar with the 600 , but 800 can backup from within the image , no need for dreamup , within software settings , also an addon from download panel for "nfi backup"
sorry if this is only 800 specific

If you back up using Telnet it willl back up the image completely.

XLNT! So if I want to re-flash this backup later on, what is the best way to do? (Standby, Telnet but what commands)

Thanks.

Yes I saw that. However, that guide seems to only work with .img files and the backup script above creates a .nfi file.
Don't know if is as simple as renaming but it's been some time since I played around with the box so I am not sure...

The dm500 use the .img image file and if you have a dm600 you need the .nfi. Check post #3 for the relevant plugin.
