Backup of original Vuplus Uno 4k SE image that came with the receiver

[dhnj]

Hi
I have just bought a Vuplus Uno 4k SE.
Running with official vuplus image installed.
Before installing a new VIX image I like to make sure that I can
get back to the official vuplus image before the new VIX image was installed
So is it necessary to have a backup of the official vuplus image installed with all my settings
before installing a new VIX image.
What will a factory reset do after new VIX image install.
Will I get back to the official vuplus image with all my settings or be at the new VIX image start
with what settings.
Best regards

Factory reset is a misleading term. The only way to make receiver as it was when it came from factory, is to flash the image it had in the factory.

Not sure exactly what you are asking. However, a few comments that may answer what you want to ask.
Flashing an image wipes everything. There is no need need to factory reset

If you crate an image backup, (please do not confuse with settings backup), you can flash that. The image exactly as it was when you made the image backup. This includes installed plugins and settings.
Note: Not all images have inbuilt function to make an image backup. You have to install a plugin. Fullbackup suite plugin has this. OpenVix has a function to make an image backup, no plugins required.

You only need to make a backup image if you want to have a backup that you can re-apply. It is not mandatory before flashing another image.
