backing up bouquets/services

[deasy100]

hi all, looking for a little help.

just spent ages doing up my bouquets and now im going to flash my friends box and want to save him the trouble of doing up his bouquets. is it possible of saving my bouquets via ftp then transfering them onto his box once ive flashed it. if so could you tell me the files they are in once im in my ftp program. thanks

They are in the var/tuxbox/config/zapit folder (bouquet/services.xml)

thanks for your reply.

ok, so i transfer my services/bouquets file from my box to my pc via ftp then once ive flashed his box do i delete his services/bouquets file and then transfer my bouquets/services file from my pc to his box.

there is a way of copying/backing up your entire image, so if the box your flashing is the same as yours as in a 2x or 1x then you can copy your image , ftp that out of your tmp folder and use that with say ifa to flash your mates box.

of course you can ftp your bouquets and servcies into his box,, no need to delete his just overwrite them.

but wouldnt it be fun to elarn how to back up your image as it is now to flash to your mates box?

heres how its done :

go too scan area on dbox and choose image backup/upgrade (or very similar)

choose expert funtions
then read whole image. that will make a copy of yur image in the tmp folder... ftp that out and flash it to a similar box (same chips)..
that will do it.. or just save that image for back up purposes.

hope this helps just thought you might want to elarn something new and the other forum visitors can try the same method for the fun.

regards dave

ps some settings might be different than your settings so use a bit of trial and error.

No need to delete,when you transfer the files from pc to the box it will ask if you want to overwrite it just press yes.

when you transfer a new image or back up your image it gets sent to the temp folder, bouquets and service files are in the zapit folder.

There is a program called image works in the download section that coverts images from 1 to 2 vice versa

be careful with that software.. i tested it a couple of times and it failed and failed converting over and over again.

so in the end i manually created my own 1x image as some of the forum memebers know.

anyway to cut a long story short, if you try the image works test the image first lol.. as ive had little luck with the software itself.

just my two pence worth..
