Hi @ll,

As I needed to upgrade the dreambox to the current firmware version I wanted to create a backup first to the USB key.

Unfortunately none of the keys I tried seem to work.

I have tried with 3 different USB keys but the only notification I see on the dreambox is:
"Sorry your Backup destination does not exist Please choose an other one.”

I specially bought today a My Flash 1GB USB 2.0
My older Kingston Datatraveller 256 MB
A HP 128 MB.

In telnet: ls /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc maar krijg als result
No such file or directory.

I then used a tool called Dreambox Control Center, but the same result.

Could not start /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc --- No such file or
directory

The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?

Finally I created a backup to the hard disk and upgraded to firmware Release 2.2 from 25.01.2007 but even with this version the USB is not working.

Am I missing something, or do I need a plugin in order to get the USB working?

Grtz. Bally

So this means that out of the box, there is no USB support. Even when using the original firmware from DreamMultimedia?

So you mean an image from a 3rd party?

The problem is that most of the postings are in German, and let us say that I never received any German class.

How come there is no FAQ of these types of issues in English?

Now I still don't know if my box is faulty or if it is just a configuration problem.

Okay I finally got it working by using the instruction from this link USB - Stick an 7025, Was ist zu tun ? USB - Stick an 7025, Was ist zu tun ?

Don't ask me what I did, I just copied and paste the instructions in Telnet and then I could format the usb key with Flashwizard and made a backup of the full/etc directory.

Thanks all for pointing me in the correct direction.
