[snakie]

Hi guys
I'm waiting forward to get new duo2 with bigger hdd(2-3tb).I just wander is there the way transfer movies from my duo to another vu box without downloading recordings on to laptop?1tb harddrive is nearly full and there is nothing to delete.

Leave the DUO plugged in & connected to your network & then just mount the drive on your Duo2 when you get it...

......and let the boxes do the move.

If your keeping both boxes, just do as Juge said, I transferred over 200GB from one to other box and it took 16 hours.

Done a search but did not find any info
So without starting a new post

I just got a new vu solo2 and installed a new internal hd
Now my old usb external hd that I had for my xpeed lx2 has all my recordings on it....is there anyway I can put them on the new one using laptop and samba...or plug the external in the vu and do it that way....many thanks

Yes and yes.

One way way it to connect to new receiver, select the recordings and move them by remote.

Another way is to connect to new receiver, select the recordings and move them by ftp.

Another way i sto connect to PC, install applciation to read ext file system. Transfer to new HDD on new receiver by Samba or FTP

Thanks will go for the first option as it seems an easier way for me
If I get stuck il be back for more info

Stuck already...
I plugged old one in and can see all recording...
Hit green to move and selected the new hd...removed the old drive to check the new one and it ain't there...

 

[abu baniaz]

It takes a while to move them

Try using telnet.

mv /usb/movie/* /hdd/movie/

Check the mount points first though.

The recording I selected it just dissapered...instantly no progress bar cam up.....instantly must be doing g something wrong

 

[moparopkop]

Got it....the first option worked...found it...
