Just use Dreambox edit which is on the Dreambox tools section.
Back up your settings on your pc.

Thanks Sonic, sorry for being a dork, but which settings files should I backup ? (the back up files, I expect) ?
Then, simply rewrite these to the backup folder after flashing the new image ?

Thanks

Download Dreambox edit and set it up to communicate to your box.

Then hit the FTP icon to receive files from your dreambox { in your case Vu + Duo } but it is the same thing.

Make sure you create a folder on your pc to save the settings to.

I have never tested the image you use but you can back up all your settings with the inbuilt software manager if your image has it ?

You will need a USB or HDD installed to save your settings to.

Thanks Sonic, will have a shot at it tommorow; practice make perfect as they say. Am using the PLI 2010-05-30 which is crashing on many menus and is a bit of a pain.
Thanks again
