    Hi , there is a plug in in gemini serveur or in google


    dreambackup or flashbackup , it save your current image in usb flash disk that you put in your dreambox 800

    if you have clone box then above will do


    for original boxes use dflash-backup

    Not sure of the vix settings on a dm800,,,but normally you Ftp the ipk to your /tmp file then install local package then reboot/restart.

    tried backing up.created a image but it was saying image is ssl 84b when i was using an ssl84a not 84b.tried to update box and its an error so had to revert back to orig image which is ssl84a.i also got an error when i finished creating the backup(green crash screen)maybe when i was creating the backup maybe i should of used the other option instead of sim2 option.so now i have to reflash with orig image and set settings all over again.any help will be appreciated.


    the error i got when trying to use backup image was when it started to boot after the first dreamboxuk screen the second dreamboxuk screen does not show but its booting as u see the icon whitch lets u know its doing someting but once finish booting it say no tuner and when u try to retune it says no tuner.i got this error before on orig image when i tried to do a software update so i just did not do any updates on orig image so donno.im lost


    the inigma updates are ok but if i try to do a full update of all update it comes with no tuner error so i only do inigma updates.wondering if this is causing my backup image to come withe same error.donno

    i give up.error on Dcc is
    Backup failed! Please check telnet screen and /tmp/backup.log
    Backup failed!
    their is no backup.log file in temp folder.
    i give up

    I am actually attempting same procedure, but keep getting the error below.
    Backup failed! Please check telnet screen and /tmp/backup.log
    Backup failed!


    The content of /tmp/backup.log looks this:
