Hi,
this is more or less normal. Backup tries to backup all important files and the WLan settings are important. Because you have no WLan in use the backup program cannot find the corresponding files.

Missing mkfs.jffs2 is a bit more serious. I think you must install mtd-utils for that.

Write this into terminal/telnet

mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock2 /boot

Than try again to do the backup.

Ralf, thank you for your reply I am not using Wlan, I am using a wired connection but I have got wireless USB stick, do you want me to use wlan connection and try to backup again? Also what is mtd-utils, could you please explain

Write this into terminal/telnet

mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock2 /boot

Than try again to do the backup.

@Jahu, which version of DCC you are using? Mine is 2.96 and I cannot see any Image Backup command in Tools menu as it is in your picture.

You can see what I can only see on DCC but unfortunately Backup command is not active?

You are using the Enigma1 version?

[Jahu]

Explain your setup buddy, what Box, what Enigma 1/2, DFlash installed etc.

Hey guys,

I really thank you all, with your help here I managed to start using E2 supported DCC at the end I am an owner of Clone DM800.
And after installing dflash, I was able to backup my image without any problem. Now I am enjoying my image

Again, many thanks all of you, I learnt a lot here.

[jakas]

and backup complete settings ?? settings only ?

[eozen81]

and backup complete settings ?? settings only ?

No, backup completed successfully. No issues left. Thanks a lot.

I am asking about thru software management with remote like in the past and you are replying about DCC

Oh sorry, yes after installing Dflash, a spesific command appreas in the settings and I used this as well, it's sussessfully backing up image without any problem. You can manage backup save folder in the settings but If not, default path is : /media/hdd/backup

When i try make backup from menu software management, i get this:
...

Tar just complains that it couldn't find all the specified files (I guess the backup is just outdated). This does not mean total and utter failure - the backup file is probably just there, and can be restored.

For OpenPLi backup, I strongly advise using AutoBackup (it's in the Applications), which does a better job.

[jakas]

ok thanks for the help. It was just above error report like the first post of this thread that I had so I reported it. Will use the plugin Autobackup

Hello,

I use the backup plugin by Pedro to make backup to USB drive, but how can I make the same backup directly to my network mount?

I have made such a backup with my previous image, but can't find a way now...

Regards

Depends on how the NAS is mounted and if you have a internal HDD.
If the NAS is mounted/accessible via /hdd then it should be no problem. Just choose Backup to HDD/USB, but I reckon you already tried this.
Have you updated the BackupSuite to 9.1?
Please post the outcome of the following commands in telnet
mount
and
df -h

[fotjon]

I have the latest BS v.9.1 I don't have internal hdd (et5000 model does not have this option). I have shared 2 folders on my pc through CIFS.
Backup to HDD/USB says no space available on internal hdd.
This our the outputs of the commands, 2 folders shared and a lot of space free on the pc hdd:
