how to make boot image backup from my zgemma s2 please !!!

I tried this but it makes a .tar.gz file and when extracted it does not look like the correct file structure.

All new images have integrated tools to make a backup, format a USB stick in fat32 and insert it into the receiver. Now from menu you can create your backup that will create the zgemma folder.

No it does not make the zgemma folder, neither does it make the correct file structure. It makes the exact same as my first post..

From both the image control panel and Ts Panel backup app it makes firstly a .tar and then when i look inside that rar it makes 3 folders. etc,usr and tmp.
The Zgemma structure is nothing like this so i am not sure whats going on here :)

Which are you using, Backup manager or Image manager ?
Backup manager will backup your settings only, like network & tuner configuration, channel list etc. Image manager will backup the whole image, which is what you are after.
BTW don`t use TSpanel to backup this image..

Yes i think that was the problem. I was not using image backup...doh!

I prefer Blackhole images and this is a vix appollo image.

Works nice but i always make a backup as it saves time in the long run.

Cheers for the info and help guys :)
