    Default Azbox Backup Guide

    To perform a full backup easily of the folders /PLUGINS and /DISK2 without loosing the access right (no more need to perform chmod 755).

    Connect via telnet to Azbox and type the following command:

    Code:
    cd /
    tar -cvzf /tmp/bckPLUGINS.tgz /PLUGINS
    tar -cvzf /tmp/bckDISK2.tgz /DISK2


    Perform a FTP transfer of the following two files to your PC:

    /tmp/bckPLUGINS.tgz
    /tmp/bckDISK2.tgz

    Don't leave the files in the /tmp folder since it will be erased at your next Azbox reboot!

    To restore the full configuration of your Azbox (for example after a firmware upgrade):

    First check that FTP is enabled on your Azbox:
    Press Home -> 11. Settings -> Network Service -> FTP and check that it is active (otherwise press OK to enable it).

    Via FTP transfer place back the files bckPLUGINS.tgz and bckDISK2.tgz in the /tmp folder of your Azbox.

    Connect with telnet to your Azbox:

    Code:
    cd /
    tar -xvzf /tmp/bckDISK2.tgz
    tar -xvzf /tmp/bckPLUGINS.tgz

    vfd_display -td210 REBOOT


    The last command: "vfd_display -td210 REBOOT" will reboot your Azbox (reboot is mandatory).
