How do i make a USB backup of the Solo??
Ive tried using the VTI backup utility but it seems to make a backup on the internal flash rather than the plugged in USB Hardrive.
Any suggestions?
have a look here (http://www.vuplus-support.co.uk/showthread.php?14-How-create-a-backup-of-your-VU-Plus-Duo-image&highlight=backup+de+image)bob, think should work on the solo as well

Ive treid to install that already....
get the below on the installation....
root@vusolo:~# ipkg install /tmp/enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-vuplus-nfibackup_
.1_pli_mipsel.ipk
Installing enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-vuplus-nfibackup (1.1) to root...
An error ocurred, return value: 4.
Collected errors:
Package enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-vuplus-nfibackup wants to install file /us
/bin/mkfs.jffs2
Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I've have to do some testing. Not 100% sure that the backup plugin works. Maybe wait for the new VTI Solo image, dont think its too far away.

Doin it manually mate.....
Have ssh'd in and had a look at the script running build-nfi-image-vuplus.sh.
A variable is passed to this script....so i have just run...
./build-nfi-image-vuplus.sh /media/hdd
and hope that it creates the backup on the HD...
Lets hope...

Thanks for testing it...might have to hold up as sic has mentioned above for the New VTI image.
It is a shame because my cousin could have done with a bacup.
