Changelog

Changed in version 16.0[/B]
Made the application more universal and easier to maintain for future models.
Now all supported brands/models are placed in a matrix (lookuptable.txt) with their parameters needed to make a back-up
Now all what has to be done to support a new brand/model is enter the specifics into the lookuptable.txt, an example is show hereunder.
I moved the version (after some internal betaversions) to 16.0 because of the big changes in the code.
All is tested and should work fine

Full Backup Suite 17.0 versiyon

FOR OPENPLI 3.0 or LATER (or compatible images) For the version compatible with Openpli 2.1 / Open Embedded 1.6 see THIS posting

Here's the latest version of the plugin BackupSuite, suitable for Openpli 3.0 or later
In this first post you'll always find the latest public version of the BackupSuite

The BackupSuite is capable of making a full back-up of a running system. The back-up contains all files and settings as they are on the system at the moment of making the back-up.
In case of emergency or any other mishap you are capable of restoring your system in a matter of a few minutes (< 5 ).

The BackupSuite can back-up:
Xtrend models ET4x00, ET5x00, ET6x00, ET8000, ET9x00 and ET10000;
VU+ models Duo, Duo2, Solo, Solo2, Ultimo and Uno;
MK-Digital / MaxDigital / XPert XP1000 and the Octagon SF8 XP1000.

After installation* you will find an entry in the Menu under Menu -> Plugins -> BackupSuite
(or in German Menu -> Erweiterungen -> BackupSuite)
*Installation has to be done with a working internet connection to be able to fetch the required package mtd-utils from the feed)

Backup > USB
This option makes a back-up directly to an USB-flashdrive, however there is one condition that has to be fulfilled and that's there MUST be a file on the USB-flashdrive with the name backupstick or backupstick.txt or whatever name containing the word backupstick. So a file with the name: hands_off_this_is_my_backupstick.txt is also valid! It doesn't matter if UPPER- or lower-case letters are used or even a mix of those 2.
This back-up will be written on 2 places, one in the folder representing the modelnumber e.g. ET9x00 and in a folder with the name fullbackup_et9x00, this is your archive of all back-ups made directly to this USB-flashdrive.

Backup > HDD
This option does the same as above except that it is on a harddrive (or NAS) and there is no need for a file with the name backupstick.
This option does provide an extra option namely copy the made back-up directly from HDD to an USB-flashdrive. If you place a valid USB-stick, as mentioned above, before or during the back-up process then the made back-up will also be copied to this drive at the end of the process.

Restore
With this option you are able to restore a backup or flash a new image directly from your harddisk, NAS or USB-stick or any other mounted device.

The supported languages are now: English (default), Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Spanish and Turkish.

Here's a screenshot (edited) of the different steps of the Fullback-up to HDD/USB process with a valid USB-stick inserted
Click this bar to view the full image.


Again for Openpli 3.0 or later (or Openpli based images)
Please don't try to use this version in the "older" images 2.1, the used programs/versions are not compatible

Changelog

Changed in version 17.0
- Now the total program is in one folder: BackupSuite, the "old" folders BackupSuite-HDD and BackupSuite-USB are discarded
- After starting the plugin you can choose to make a backup on HDD(and on USB) or USB only, so there are no 2 separate plugins anymore, just 1 plugin
- The name of the plugin is BackupSuite and is as such in the plugin list, so don't look for Voll-backup or similar
- The plugin is also placed under the blue button for fast access, press the Blue button and it should be there somewhere on top of the list

Also changed:
Added the file noforce.update (only for certain VU+ models)
The file noforce.update works simular as the file noforce on the other brands.

If you want to flash, with use of an USB-stick, your VU+ (all models except Duo & Solo) without the need to push a button to confirm the flashing you can rename the file noforce.update into force.update
If you use this option it may be wise to delete the file reboot.update which causes the receiver to reboot automatic after flash, if you forget to remove the USB-stick the box will be flashed again after reboot.
If you delete the file reboot.update the system waits until it is rebooted by hand.

Lowered the value at which a fatal warning is given when trying to back-up an image greater than 120 MB on Xtrend machines.
The former warning was set at 128 MB but this value has been proven too high. I couldn't restore an image at around 125 MB with the use of an USB-stick

BUT THE BIGGEST CHANGE!
In the program you can now also restore backups online without the use of an USB-stick using Betacentauri's excellent tool ofgwrite
This has several advantages:
- much faster flashing
- restoring backups greater than 120MB is now no problem anymore on the Xtrends

The plugin is not completely translated at the moment so there will be a mix of English and German messages.

The backup process itself isn't changed, it is the familiar screen as shown here above.
When you start the plugin you have the following choices:

RED BUTTON Cancel/Exit GREEN BUTTON Backup to HDD (and USB if a valid USB-stick is inserted) YELLOW BUTTON Backup to USB BLUE BUTTON Restore/Flash a back-up or fresh image from harddisk or any mounted device. INFO BUTTON Some information about the update, in future releases you can read the changes of that version

The plugin is a very early version so it could be that there are some errors (not in the backup process itself because that isn't changed)

Also my Python programming skills are next to nothing so if an python specialist is in for a good laugh please look at the code (and give some tips )

The startscreen look likes the first screenshot (don't worry the dog won't bite, I just parked it there for the moment, in the near future I will find good use for the space)
The restore screen could look like the second screenshot.







I'm searching for translators who can complete the language files, so for all languages (except Dutch) please feel free to contribute

And finaly a BIG THANK YOU to Betacentauri for his excellent binary which enables the online flashing and
DIMA73 for his plugin from which I cannibalized the python restore part!

Full Backup Suite 17.2 versiyon

Backupsuite version 17.2

Here's a little update

Changed in version 17.2
===================
- added Italian translation (thanks Xtrendmaster)
- replaced ofgwrite version 1.8 for version 1.9.2
- changed the skinning, moved some png files to the plugin folder so it isn't depending anymore on the Pli-HD skin (I still have to improve it huge!)

BTW: Anyone who knows how to shorten the path in the skin, thus replacing /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/BackupSuite/ to use in the skin, so only having to type e.g.: <ePixmap pixmap="~/img/red.png" position etc..
I can't get it working properly, I'm overlooking something

Still work in progress and (very slowly ) learning

Thx Pedro_Newbie
