I hope it is ok to report this here. If there is another place to report these corrections, please let me know, I could not find one.

 

There is a little but important typo in the Wiki article "Vu Multiboot":

 

https://wiki.openpli.org/Vu_Multiboot

 

Section at the end of the article: "Before you start"

 

 

To make this backup, you need access to the commandline, so login using SSH or telnet. Then execute the following commands:

• tar -cvzf /media/hdd/linuxrootfs1.tar.gz /linuxrootfs1 (for slot 1)
• tar -cvzf /media/hdd/linuxrootfs1.tar.gz /linuxrootfs2 (for slot 2)
• tar -cvzf /media/hdd/linuxrootfs1.tar.gz /linuxrootfs3 (for slot 3)

 

 

All three tar commands create the identical backup file and would overwrite each other.

If someone used just copy and paste that could be irritating.

No, this is no typo, these commands are not intended to be executed all, but only for the slot you want to use.

 

They are also not overwritten, only the slot you use will be overwritten, so if you use all three commands, all slots will have the same image but are therefore different.

Thanks... resolved. Indeed better to create separate files as in the restore later on we also have separate files.
