    What is symlink are you creating? Post the exact details including where you are creating it. Yes we know it points to /etc/tuxbox/config

    Doh, I wasn't selecting the symlinks in the backups. Selecting the links I normally create restored them.

    I then created this link and also added it to my backup files.
    ln -s /etc/tuxbox/config /_Oscam_configs

    It was also restored.

    No, as I don't use that.
    What is the actual symlink you have pointing to it?

    As mentioned in my 1st post I set the symlink with DCC called "oscam files" which takes me directly to config where all my oscam files are.

    What do you mean by „oscam files“ in DCC because different images e.g. OpenATV store them in /usr/keys not as in OpenViX
    Gigablue Quad 4K & UE 4K
    .........FBC Tuners:
    ------------------> DUR-Line DCR 5-1-8-L4 Multiswitch to 1.5M dish(28.2E)
    ------------------> Spaun SUS 5581/33 NFA Multiswitch to 80 cm dish(19.2E)
    .......................> FBC & DVB-S2X into 90cm dish (27.5W) Opticum robust Unicable LNB
    AX HD61, Edision Osmio 4K+, Zgemma H9Combo, Octagon SF8008 , gbtrio4k, h9se using Legacy ports on multiswitches
    Zgemma H9 C/S into Giga4K

    But I have no idea what you mean by "symlink with DCC".

    In Dreambox Control Center you have the option to create a new symlink. In FTP, rather that going to etc then to tuxbox and the to config (where my oscam files are) I just click on my newly made symlink which I have named "oscam files" and I go directly to "config"

    You can't have spaces. Add an underscore.

    Won't the order the files are restored be significant, files/directories first, then the symlink, otherwise it will fail.

    No. The symlink is an entry in the file system. What it points to doesn't have to exist (which is a "dangling symlink").

    I can confirm that is the answer. It now saves. Thanks again.
