Flashing a backup for Openpli image (beta 10) - 12/06/15 07:38 PM

Received today the japhar sim, flashed the image and replaced the sim 2.10 in my box with the new sim. Installed all my preferred plugins, cam etc.. and all looks wonderfull. I like the OpenPLi image and i used it in my A8P boxes and in the sim 2.10 one. Always used for backing the modified image the USB routine or a HDD routine and it was always perfect. No need for dflash. This image i can't backup in USB nor HDD. Installed dflash 13.5 without errors for trying it but is not in menu. My free memory is 5 MB. This is a part of the Telnet page.

The created image is small and useless.

As I see you know well what you talk about, try our backup script and ipk that works perfectly with it, define the usb stick as /media/hdd and all should go fine,

Both tested and works. I have an internal hard disk and no need to mount the usb as HDD. Toysoft one name the image BlackHole instead of OpenPli and the second give a generic name (i think is better) but who care.
Thanks

Exactly yes, the name of the file is really not important, the thing is to get a good working backup,
