Why should you need that...? Autobackup + new flash system via the UI does also work...
But with backupsuite it should be possible. But here https://forums.openp...upsuite/page-50 you can read there might be some issues with it.

I've alway used BackupSuite.
I've just try Autobackup selecting all folder manually, how does it works if I need to restore image ?

You should NOT use autobackup to backup anything but data (essentially, /etc). Autobackup also keeps a list of all installed plugins if you want to.
When the box restarts after you have flashed a new image, and it finds a backup (on a USB stick or a HDD), it prompts you for a restore. If you select Yes, it restores both all installed plugins and your data.
The only thing Autobackup doesn't handle is manually installed plugins, or plugins that install data in non-standard locations.
Backupsuite creates a complete image that you can flash to restore. It might wel be that OpenPLi 4 has an old version, OpenPLi 4 hasn't been updated or maintained for a long time, so upgrade to OpenPLi 6 first (will restore an Autobackup from 4 without much problems).
Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)
Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Backupsuite works just fine on H7 series.
Only with H9 series there is a problem.
