Hi, is it possible to use the backup file from my vu+ duo 4K SE for the duo 2 so all the settings are equal ? Have already copied several directorys like jediEPG but still missing some channels on import on the duo 2 (streams from 4K box)

Yes. You can even restore the whole backup.

Although take care if you're using static IP addresses....

Whilst the other box is down.
Having two systems with the same IP address means you can't reach either.

I remember "great fun" at work many years ago when a new-PC install script was setting their IP address to that of one of our DNS servers, rather than configuring this as the DNS server. (In the days before DHCP was used).

you can always change the address on the box by setup.

Oh, I just remembered, it will update the hostname/boxname if you restore from a different machine. You just need to change it back.
