saving setting before a flash - 7025s

[Anastrophe]

is there an easy way to save my tuner config and channels before doing a flash from gemini 1.5 to 1.6 - and then restore them on the new image?

thx

use DreamboxEdit or DreamSET to save your settings

thanks - did the upgrage already and lost all the settings, but I've managed to set them up again without any problem.

I usually login to the box and issue..

cp -r /etc/enigma2 /hdd


..which will copy the entire contents of /etc/enigma2 to the hard disk. Then after flashing the new image, I reboot, get the language proompt, followed by wizard dialog.. choose exit from that, then progress to the network settings, re-setup my settings.. then login to the box and issue..

cp -r /hdd/enigma2 /etc

..to restore the saved settings... then reboot.

Note: in Enigma2 Gemini, there is a backup option buried in the Blue panel options and it creates tarballs in the hdd that are exactly copies of /etc/enigma and /etc.. when it was first released, I tried using it and had some dodgy results.. may be fine now, but at least 1-2 releases ago it didn't work for me.. so I've continued using my copy approach as detailed above.

Why not use the feature allready in the box??

In plugins menu, there is a backup / restore plugin, works like a charm.
