Channel/Bouquet Backup

[ALISAT]

I have now managed to re-build my Xtrend ET8000 sat box with the new OpenVix version 4.2. Without the restore it took me a lot of time to get back all my channels and favourites. I think it is about time that I learnt how to take a backup of all my channels, favourites and bouquet.

How do I take a backup of all my rebuilt channel list, favourites and bouquet?
What would i do to restore, if restore in not available for future upgrades?

Can I use Dreamset software.

Just go to menu Vix and backup settings and image and a copy will be on your external usb/hdd

You can use Dreamset, Dreambox Edit or E-Chanenlizer.

You can also use openwebif's bouquet editor.

Thanks for your help. I managed to use openwebif's bouquet editor which is the easiest solution and created a bouquets_backup.tar file.
