Best pleace to save a Full Backup is HDD because the hdd is not formatted when a new image is uploaded to the box{13}

3} Now press the Red button to create a backup, there will be alot of info on the screen, similar to this. {14}
It usually takes around 6-8 minutes to create a full backup (around 3.5 minutes on a Solo2), so please be patient.

I have BH in flash, MeoBoot activated and 3 options of meobooting. Can I make full backup of them all together?

I will make the next step and use the backup in MeoBoot again. The idea is to arrange a meoboot cascade to have doubled number of available images :eek:

How to do a Personal backup with two or three universes saved? If I do a backup in BH universe, then I go in Avalon and I make a backup, the second overwrite the first made...

In each universe you have to use Menu-> Backup menu -> Personal backup -> Setup (yellow button)
and choose a different folder from the other universes.

Actual English names of above menu items may differ, I've translated them from my Italian version.

Thank You eragon, but the only folders to choose is hdd or usb, I don't see the possibility to choose between other folders...

You are right, it's not possible to select subfolders...:(

Another solution could be the following procedure (slightly boring indeed...)

For each one of your universes make a Personal backup in /media/usb.
Then after each backup connect via ftp to /media/usb and save that file to you PC.
Repeat this procedure for each instance and at last remember to save on your PC also the Personal backup for your main image and be sure to leave this last backup in /media/usb.

When reinstalling follow a similar procedure:
Flash the main image and restore the Personal backup when asked to do so.
Replace via ftp the backup file in /media/usb with one of your universes and restore that universe.
Repeat this for each universe.

I haven't tried this procedure by myself, so it's only a theory...:)

Full backup is like creating an image of your hard disk, it creates on a USB pendrive a flashable image (an exact copy of your box's flash memory) that can be flashed as usual.
This image includes everything has been installed and configured over time, restoring it recreates the situation as it was at the time the backup was taken.

When U install a new image , the Personal backup could be used and it will give back all your settings!

Hi to All. I'm trying to do a full backup in a usb stick, and with the usb connected to the vuplus (solo) appears a message that says: Sorry no device found to store backup. Please check your media in Black Hole debices panel.

I try every thing but there's no way...Any one can help me?

Thanks!

Did you try to mount your USB stick by Devices Manager?
blue panel > BH apps > devices manager
