hi I'm new to pli is it safe to down load the lates version of pli on my duo2 off the pli server on line or do I have to re flash my box with my usb stick 

 

regards simon123 great forum

New firmware version always needs a fresh flash....

In many cases it's sufficient to do an update. But you should always have a backup so that you can get back to a running system quickly (even when you flash new image you should have backup of current system).
Software is tested by the devs, but it can always happen that a nightly build is not working as expected.

thank u very much for ur help so far could explain please  how to make a back up image  please thank u again kind regards simon 123

Just install the BackupSuite and run it, it's self explanatory. To make a backup on an USB-stick make sure you make a file on the USB stick with the name backupstick.txt, the content of the file isn't important.
The BackupSuite can be found on the feed via Menu -> Plugins -> Green button/Download -> Extensions -> Backupsuite

thank u very much kind regards simon 123 ps do i make a file like i do a chanel list back up

[Pedro_Newbie]

It is a complete image like a new one and it can be flashed like a new image or it can be restored via the BackupSuite itself.
