DM7020-make a *.nfi file backup image

I am successfully creating my own full images for the 7020 machines.

It works...sensationally.

Here is how it's done, you can do it yourself or be a slack arse and wait for me to post some images.

How to make a clone backup image of a DM7020 with all settings:-



(1) ftp to the 7020

(2) place the attached file "image7020_600.tar.gz" into tmp folder

(3) go to the dreambox, and press blue button, addons, manual install via tv.

(4) select the file you just uploaded.

(5) go to the pc and command prompt.

(6) telnet to the dreambox with telnet command

(7) enter "root" as the user, no password

(8) insert a usb stick in the back of the 7020 if it does NOT have a hard drive.

Now type this in on the pc's dos prompt telnet window...


(9)(a) if it HAS a hard drive :-

/usr/bin/build-nfi-image.sh /media/hdd

(9)(b) if it DOES NOT have a hard drive:-

/usr/bin/build-nfi-image.sh /media/usb


Now watch some progress messages for about 5 minutes and when it finishes,the *nfi image will be stored on either the hard drive on the dreambox, or the usb stick plugged into it.

The image will be about 15-20 mbytes.
__________________________________________________ _________________

If you used the usb stick just wack it on the pc and copy it.

If you used the dm7020 hard drive then ftp back into the 7020 again and go to /media/hdd and copy the *nfi file from there to the desktop on your PC.


THAT'S IT.......you have a valid NFI image, just rename it to �something_sensible.nfi�


How do you copy the *nfi file that to many 7020's?

power off the 7020 and hold the down arrow button in on the front panel for a few seconds on power up.

it will display an IP address that the box is listening to...example 192.168.0.222

Set your pc ip address to the same subnet.

Then just point internet explorer to that IP address and away you go.
One of the options is firmware update, point to the file you just made and all starts to happen.





Now isn't that useful?





*****you will need to unzip the attached file before ftp'ing to the 7020 tmp folder
