Can't find image back up

[Willmoore]

When doing an image back up - it goes through the process and after several mins it creates the zip and finishes. For a split second it shows in the back up file (/media/usb) on screen but then disappears.
Using Filezilla i look in /media/usb/imagebackups and it's not there.
I have looked around in other files (HDD etc) but no joy.
Any idea what's happening ?

If you press menu when in imagebackups, it tells you where you are storing the backups.

It shows /media/usb and this is where it briefly shows. But it then seems to immediately delete it.
If i save a settings back up - no problem.

I've had this problem before on the HD51 but unfortunately I never got to the bottom of what was causing it.
After the backup completes the zip is shown in Image Manager for about a second and then it disappears.
I don't think it's specific to the image or build version because my problem was with build number 5.1.008 (or thereabouts) and a reflash of the same image sorted it.
It must be just a quirk that happens now and again.

Just to clarify, mine was set to backup to an internal ext4 ssd /media/hdd/imagebackups/

Can you turn on debug logs and then post.....imagemanager is quite good at recording what happens.....if not perhaps I can add some code to checkout.
But 1st just try changing and then returning to /media/usb in menu to ensure it really does recognise the location.

Thanks - I'll try a re-flash.

I'll try that first (when the other half isn't watching the tv)

Tried changing and returning to /media/usb but no joy.

on other boxes i used to save to internal hdd but backup wanted to be saved to usb until usb removed when powered off.

Nothing in log for ImageManager apart from the Autostart ... when you have time just do a restart, run Imagemanager and then restart and post Log.

Just to clarify.
1) Re-boot
2) Make an Image back up (or try to)
3) Re-boot again
4) Post log as before

adding: hd51/ (stored 0%)
adding: hd51/disk.img
zip I/O error: No space left on device
zip error: Output file write failure (write error on zip file)

The problem is that ViX creates an eMMC disk image which can take up a lot of space - especially when all 4 partitions have images flashed (its a 4GB eMMC) ..... and yours is just the 1st partition! ... then it zips the image (which is quite big).
So you need a larger usb or one that has more space on it (not sure what else is on the usb)

On the usb - picons - epg - image/settings backup.
My first thought was space so I deleted 6 image back ups and about 10 setting s backups. But it made no difference. I'll try formatting it and starting again.
