i have found it, holding down the EPG button brings the menu up, apologies for the unnecessary new thread

Wouldn't it not be a lot easier to change the path mapping in /etc/samba/smb.conf, so that the Harddisk share maps to /media/usb ?

that was exectly what i was after, thanks for pointing out.

will have to look into how to make the autoinstall of the autobackup plugin work now

You can change the path of the backup in the plugin.

 

Also but i'm not sure ,you can label de usb disk "hdd"

i have changed the path of the backup location to USB from in the plugin and i can backup ok but that is not my problem, my problem is that when i flash the new image the autoinstall does not work because (that is my guess) the new image looks at media/hdd and not media/usb

If you can tell me how to label the USB disk to HDD it would be nice.

Wouldn't soft or had link work?

sometjing like this:

 

#cd /

#ln -s  /media/hdd /media/usb

 

Look at this for details: http://www.computerh...om/unix/uln.htm

tried it, does not seem to have done anything

that gives me two problems:

1. (more important) the autoinstall function of the autobackup plugin does not seem to work

2. (inconvenience) i have too many devices in my family (PCs, laptops, tablets, smartphonesphones) with shortcuts to \\boxIP\harrdisk\movie that need to be manually changed to \\boxIP\root\media\usb\movie

If you could provide me with a solution for the autobackup plugin i would be grateful

Thanks
