Image backup and flashing. Settings backup and restores

[abu baniaz]

Just in case you you want create a copy of the image including options you have set as well as plugins, you can create an image backup. You then then re-flash it by USB or Image Manager. This is handy if you want to try another image and want to be able to revert back to your old image without having to set everything up again. Or just want to have a copy that you can flash back in case something goes wrong.

This is covered in section 8 of the Vix Manual

As well as this PDF guide

You must have a storage device connected to the receiver. The image uses the device mounted as /media/hdd as the default. (It does not matter whether it is a USB stick or normal HDD, we are talking about mounts)
