DM500 S Backup help

  • I have a DM500 S and I would like to know how to make a complete backup before I start experimenting with flashing images and so on. I am a newbie so I want to make sure I can get everything back to the way it is now. A friend of mine set this up for me. Now I want to learn how to do it myself. As far as I can see it now has a Gemini image and something called MGCamd on it.
    So how do I do this?
    Can I use Dreambox control Center and the built-in Telnet, and type -cat /dev/mtd/3 > /tmp/backup.img?
    Will this image everything on the DM?
