Hello, there is a guide how to backup and restore image.
I performed the image backup using the BackupSuite plugin downloaded from openpli feeds, I can backup on hardisk inside the Zgemma H7s decoder. In fact, it creates a .zip file for me. Then I always want to restore the backup using the BackupSuite plugin it won't let me restore it. Maybe wrong procedure?

Afaik you flash a backup image the same way you would a downloaded zip file.

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand anything of what you mean.

The result of backup suite is an image you have to flash. Just like any image you download.

It has nothing to do with my request, I was referring after installing the openpli image and inserting the channel list, all the plugins. After doing everything I would like to backup and after that how to restore the already created backup is there any guide?

You wrote, "I have made a backup using backupsuite, how do I restore it".

 

And I replied "the result of backup suite is a flashable image, which you need to flash like any other image".

 

What exactly isn't clear about that?

Ok don't worry I can't make me understand maybe the google translator translates badly, thanks anyway.

You seem to think that backup suite makes something you need to restore.

 

That is not the case, backup suite creates a complete mirror image of your current root filesystem and linux kernel, which you need to flash back like you do with a new image or an image upgrade.

The backup was created using the BackupSuite plugin, but now I would like to restore the backup but it doesn't see it I can't restore the backup already created previously

It is NOT a backup of files you can RESTORE.

 

It is a binary dump of the entire root file system, which you MUST flash like any other image: https://wiki.openpli...ma_H7S.2FC.2FAC
