There is an option to backup your settings within the image , no need to use dcc , ftp etc ,
go to menu , software settings , and backup settings ,
then when you install new image , you will be prompted to install backup ,
failing that , there is a plugin from download section , called nfi backup ,
btw , by default it wont backup your cccam settings

yeah mate downloaed that nfi backup and made a backup but i think its a backup of the complete image as the backup file is called gemini 4.70 nfi but i only want the settings,cheers

[southpaw]

try the software backup in settings mate

[Wingnut]

iv had a look in at the softwaremanager and the options are
manage extensions
software update
software restore
backup system settings
restore system settings
install local extensions
advanced options

if i select backup system settings it backs up the complete image which i have saved to usb stick, if i go to advanced options i have

advanced restore
choose backup location
choose backup files
packed managemnet
choose upgrade source

i thinking maybe i need to go to choose backup files but which file should i backup, is it the settings file i back up then,i think it must be this, as u can see mate im not the smartest at this

[southpaw]

i normally choose "backup system settings" , then prompts to restore when setting up new image , try it , if it doesnt work , you still be at where you are now (if you put gemini back on )

[Wingnut]

i backed up image from nfi tool and done a restore system settings on new image and gemini again

[Wingnut]

got it goin mate, flashed new image and just put in my long and att settings and dished worked a treat, thanks very much for trying to help me earlier, cant believe thats all i had to do ,cheers
