Did you also exchanged all changed files like
plugin.py
schermen.py
backupsuite.sh?
And did you an enigma restart?

If you browse to your latest made backup's in /fullbackup_solose/ and place the cursor on the latest back-up you must have at the yellow button the Back-up info and the blue button is delete.

I only tested it for Openpli, can judge on other images.

In my former post I stated:

If you want to be able to do this also for your older backups then you'll have to move the file:
imageversion
from the data folder to the folder above (in the folder right under the folder /fullbackup_<model/<date_time>/ )

this has to be

Hi, if anybody is able to help it would really help me.

I have tried to back up my image using the backupsuite 'back up to HDD' option (green) but i get the same message that i get when trying to back up to USB saying 'most likely this back up can't be restored because of its size, it's simply too big to restore due to a bootloader limitation'.

Is there a way of creating a successful back up with this option at all? Thank you, in advance..

As I told you already by PM:

You can create a backup and ignore the warning. You can however most likely only restore the backup by the backupsuite via the blue button.

This restores the backup with the ofgwrite utility which overcomes the limitation of 128MB when you try to flash the backup via an USB-stick.

Many thanks Pedro. I successfully created a back up and you were right when you said I can ignore the message because the back up I made has been restored without a problem!
Thank you for your advice.

Hi Pedro_Newbie,

I have a question to ask regarding Zgemma H2.H model: what is the /zgemma EXTR2 value in lookuptable.txt? the backup seems structured so strange (zgemma folder inside h3 folder), so I changed the file in this way:

 

BRAND AND MODEL    Zgemma H.S/H.2S/H.2H  
MODEL              h3
SHOWNAME           Zgemma H.S/H.2S/H.2H     
FOLDER             /backupsuite/zgemma/h3
EXTR1              /backupsuite/fullbackup_h3
EXTR2              
MKUBIFS_ARGS       -m 2048 -e 126976 -c 8192
UBINIZE_ARGS       -m 2048 -p 128KiB
ROOTNAME           rootfs.bin
KERNELNAME         kernel.bin
ACTION             noforce
MESSAGE

and I get a "normal" backup with only the .log file out of place (in /fullbackup_h3/<date_time> and not in /fullbackup_h3/<date_time>/h3 folder)

The structure is exact like it is when you download a clean image here on Openpli.

This image is structured:

/zgemma/h3/imageversion
/zgemma/h3/kernel.bin
/zgemma/h3/noforce
/zgemma/h3/rootfs.bin

If you make a backup on an USB-stick you get exactly the same structure

azcfht.jpg

AND an extra backup with the structure:

/fullbackup_h3/<date_time>/BackupSuite.log
/fullbackup_h3/<date_time>/imageversion
/fullbackup_h3/<date_time>/zgemma
/fullbackup_h3/<date_time>/zgemma/h3
/fullbackup_h3/<date_time>/zgemma/h3/kernel.bin
/fullbackup_h3/<date_time>/zgemma/h3/noforce
/fullbackup_h3/<date_time>/zgemma/h3/rootfs.bin

So it is the normal structure but with the BackupSuite.log and imageversion moved direct under the <date_time> folder. This is done since the last version so you are be able to see the imageversion with the yellow button when you browse through the folder /fullbackup_h3

You can also now delete old backups with the blue button.

 

Your structure doesn't give you a direct flashable structure when you make a backup onto an USB stick. Also why you are using the folder /backupsuite/ is not clear to me.

But it is a free country, if you like your structure better please be my guest and use it, but I won't

 

One word of warning: If you don't want your changes be overwritten, when there is an update of the BackupSuite, copy the file lookuptable.txt to the folder /etc. There it is save for any update and won't be overwritten.

See the description under the heading Git 87  29-12-2015 under the info button in the BackupSuite

Thank you for fast replay, now I understand your improvement.
I use /backupsuite folder because I save backup in microSD class10 ext4 formatted also used for recording, timeshift or epg data, etc. and not so important the structure for direct flash.

For that purpose you'll have to use the plugin automatic-fullbackup by Dimitrij

Please can you advise what to do as i have a problem using the backupsuite.

I have tried to back up my image to my HDD but usually it would take 8-10 minutes but instead it has gone through the process and "executed" in literally 5 seconds.

I have checked and there is no back up saved. Please can you advise me what i should do..

Your help would be very much appreciated.

Please post the logfile /tmp/BackupSuite.log and the answer to your problem could be the messages shown on screen, what is the output saying.

But again the logfile could shed some light on the problem

Hi Pedro, thanks for your post.

I have done as you advised but the log is empty!

I just tried to do a back up again but i get the whole process finish and the message 2 execution finished'2 come up in about 5 seconds again.

I have checked and although i could see a back up with today's date for each time i tried earlier there is actually nothing inside the back up itself when i check.

It is most unlikely that the BackupSuite.log is empty, there must be some information in it.

Are you using openpli?

What kind of receiver?

What kind and size of harddisk and is it properly mounted because the backupsuite is trying to make the backup onto /media/usb

 

Please show the screenshots of the process.

 

Are you still using OpenXTA?

 

Otherwise try to make a backup onto an USB-stick
