Depends on image........the wording may vary but it should be something like this.

using remote control

dbox
service
image upgrade / backup
expert functions
backup ( read ) one partition
flash without bootloader

image will be saved to the dbox /tmp folder as mtd3.img ( do not reboot your box at this stage or this will clear the contents of the /tmp folder !!!!! )

FTP into your box and save it to your PC.....rename it to the name of the image and date it.

thanks again

To flash it back on or to another box. FTP the image to the /tmp folder of the box, then,

using remote control

dbox
service
image upgrade / backup
expert functions
flash ( write ) one partition
flash without bootloader
select image
press red to confirm

will take about three minutes to flash.........all done
