I had multiboot running but in June 2024 after an update of my OpenPLi 8.3 slot my VU+ DUO4K did not boot any more (kernel updated?, multiboot kernel overwritten?). I had to perform some tricks to get my box running again (inject a kernel image from an older backupsuite image into a recent image backup). But I Iost all my slots and settings in there.
I am running OpenPLi 8.3 on a VU+ DUO4K as my daily driver.
I would like to try OpenPLi 9 and OpenATV again.
My steps to do that would be: Is this the correct procedure?
- Create an image backup of my OpenPLi 8.3 with backupsuite.
- Flash OpenPLi 9.0, perform basic setup (network etc.) and activate multiboot
This would be my recovery image, correct? - Flash my OpenPLi 8.3 backup into one slot
Is there an easy way to do that? I could not select the latest backup image directly. I had to rename it to a specific name format and copy it to the images folder on my hdd. - Flash OpenPLi 9.0 and OpenATV to Slot 2 and 3
But after every slot is configured and running how would I backup each slot completely?
How to restore a backup to a slot?
I found this post;

But if the box wouldn't boot, how do I recover or restore my slot backups?
Flash OpenPLi 9, basic setup, activate multiboot and then how to restore the slots correctly?
In general:
What would be the best and hopefully easiest backup/restore/recovery strategy of a multiboot setup?
