Hi

I tried to restore an image backup of my GB Quad taken under image 797 however the box didn't recognise the usb stick as containing image files - there was no option on startup to press OK to install the image. IWhen I downloaded a fresh VIX image 808) to the same stick it installed OK.

The file structure of the backup contains the following directories
\gigablue\quad\
which contains two files
kernel.bin
rootfs.bin

When I look at the fresh image for install it contains 9 files - the above two and another seven.

I tried another backup with v 808 and the backup again contains only these two files.

Am I doing something wrong, or should these backups restore OK with this file structure?

Looks like I found the answer here http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?23758-Problem-and-how-Restore-complete-image-backup

But I only found it through Google search (searched for gigablue quad restore) - it didn't find it when I searched using the forum search function.
