Good job, is it already in de feeds or have to wait for tomorrow?

[Pedro_Newbie]

Format disk.img need for install image from USB stick.

Now backup HD51 not create disk.img.

Or am I wrong?

Yes, as he wrote he don't create disk.img in this version.

 

A disk.img backup has the big disadvantage that it's huge. disk.img means you create a 1:1 copy of the ext4 filesystem with dd. So including all empty blocks. That means: Is the partition x GB big, is the backup also x GB big even when you only use 100MB.

Image builders use a trick to make image small. But this only works when you build the image. Not when you want to make a backup.

That is, if create  disk.img, this disk.img not install  from USB stick?

[betacentauri]

If you have a disk.img you can install/flash it via USB stick.

 

disk.img created with this version of the backup suite (http://forums.openpl...ndpost&p=614707) might not work!

[Niceguy]

Good Morning,

Pedro Thanks for all your work!

I was succesfully able to flash a very old image made by your Suite and transferred to an USB stick then to an XP1000! THis was from the time you made a backup image in the folder that could be used directly on a USB stick to flash the box afterwards.

 

But the settings @ the time of making the backup are not copied... correct? I am sorry to ask such a seemingly basic question but cannor find the answer nor here nor in your github... The name Fullbackup put me on the wrong idea... 

 

What extension or plugin should I use to backup the settings and bouquets and such?

 

Also I get an error message when using your backup suite version Git53 on an XP1000 with kernel 3.9 and an image from 12/2014

 

"

chmod: /hdd/bi/root.ubi: Permission denied

Maak nu het bestand: root.ubifsBack-up maken is niet gelukt

"

Sorry again if I post in the wrong place... thanks in advance for your work!

Cannot edit previous post... Realized that maybe the problem was the old version and triied to find a ipk package to install on this old image butthey are not available on the github.

 

Where can I find the IPK versions of the backupsuite please?

 

TIA

[Pedro_Newbie]

- If you restore a backup then that is an image with all setiings etc as they were at the moment you made the backup

- in the github https://github.com/P...bie/BackupSuite are only the files no description

 

The plugin with the name automatic fullbackup is not mine but from Dimitrije

 

With the error message there must also be a logfile it is /tmp/BackupSuite.log. Place it here and maybe I can see what is the real problem.

 

There is no ipk version build anymore, just run an update or remove the old version and install the new version with Menu->Plugins->Green button/Download->Extensions->backupsuite (works only with a working internetconnection.

As of today the new models of VU+ are also supported like the VU+ Uno4K (download it here: https://openpli.org/.../vuplus/vuuno4k )

and the Ultimo 4K (no openpli image yet)

[michaelpop]

Hello, guys

Tomorrow I will change from VU+ Solo 2 to Uno 4K. Is it possible to make a backup to the settings to transfer them to the new box? I assume a total backup is not possible due to a different image and/or file system.

[Pedro_Newbie]

A total backup won't work of course but you can safe your settingslist (channels). I wouldn't restore anything else because the different architecture of both boxes

[WanWizard]

You can use the autobackup to make a backup of the most important files.

 

You should be able to restore it, with 2 exceptions:

- plugins that don't exist for the ARM achitecture will not be reinstalled

- your tuner config will be invalid

 

And you might have to checks paths if there is a difference there (with or without HDD, USB stick, etc).

[Pedro_Newbie]

On many requests the Octagon SF4008 is now added to the BackupSuite, tomorrow after an update it should be added to the BackupSuite

Big thanks go to Athoik for the pull request for taking some work out of my hands

[rhurbarb]

Hi, sorry if this question has been answered before, i updated my openpli to the latest update and for some reason my backups wont install using backupsuite, so i put a fresh openpli install  and uploaded the latest backupsuite and still have the same problem,it backups but dont install, im guessing its because i have a old blackhole installed, had it for 2 years plus. Thanks

[Pedro_Newbie]

Your problem isn't clear to me:
- which receiver do you use?
- what kind of image are you running atyour attempts, Openpli or Blackhole?
- what kind of backups do you want to restore, Blackhole backups?

[rhurbarb]

Hi, thanks for the rapid reply !. I have backup my image, reboot vuo2. go back into backupsuite restore backup -click on backup -vuplus-duo2- then it shows parent directory

kernel

green button - run flash - warning-standard root and kernel -the image will be flashing- finished   - it doesnt install anything ... hope this helps
