Vu Duo. Moving from vix4.1 to 4.2

[NoOne]

Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
As I understand moving from vix4.1 to 4.2 requires a flash as opposed to a software update.
Normally a Vu box is updated from a usb port. But can it be done without usb.

So can I ask....if i just ftp the new image to the normal image backup folder on my hdd can I simply use the

blue/vix/image manager/

and select the image to "restore" which actually would be the new 4.2 image as opposed to simply a backup.
So firstly would this work.
And secondly can I then use the backup manager to restore my settings from the old image.

thanks

You can download 4.2.013 from within image manager and then restore it, without the need to ftp, but you can't restore settings/plugins when moving from 4.1 to 4.2

ok cheers pal.....its just you get it setup all nice and sweet. Then wipe the thing and start afresh. I get OCD over setting stuff up just right.
Ill take the plunge
