Hello everyone!
I have a Vu+ duo running openpli 2.1 over the past 4+ years with no problems.
As i no longer get any updates i am comsidering updating to openpli 4.0 however i am truly scared that after i update for some reason my internal 1GB hard disk will not be recognized nor mounted and i would have to initialize it and as a result have to format it to make it work....
Just with this thought i do not proceed in the update as i might lose allthe recordings i gathered over the past years.
Can someone advice me how to safely proceed with the update without messing with the hard disk?
Thanks
Am scared to update! How can i do it?

Flashing the box wil not touch the harddisk in any way, so your recordings are safe.
If you're worried about compatibility issues, use the backupsuite to make a full backup of the box, so in case something doesn't work as planned, you can flash your old version back, including all installed plugins, settings and configuration.
Although I don't see any.

Where can i find backupsuite? Take in consideration that i cannot download anything from pli due to the firmware version (2.1).

Backupsuite is in the 3rd-party feed, and that is still online for 2.1, so downloading should not be a problem?

I can concur. Under normal circumstances upgrading is no problem for your HDD. Just make sure that no "auto backup" files reside on your HDD. You might make screenshots of your current settings as they are lost with the new flash. Especially LNB and DiseqC settings for your specific needs...
Met één been in het graf..... Helaas
