[ViX_Misc] Copy everything to new box

[varianjv]

Hi guys
I bought my first Linux receiver a few weeks ago, and after a steep learning curve I must admit I really like this thing.
So much so that I would like to get another box.
The same make and model.

Is it possible to copy everything from my existing box where I have everything set up as I like, to this new box, plugins, config etc
Basically almost like cloning it

Any help would be appreciated!

Make a full image back up and flash it on new receiver.

Blue > Vix > Image Manager

(I have re-prefixed your thread to Vix Misc.)

Thank you
Sounds easy enough
Would this work if I bought a VU+ zero instead

My answer was based on same model as per your question.

If a different receiver, no. A settings backup should be fine.

Is this as easy to do as the other backup

Yes it is. Blue > Vix > Backup Manager. Transfer the created backup file to /media/hdd/backup/ (hdd may not be the mount). If this is present after flashing afresh, you should be offered option to restore.

Might be worth you reading the Vix manual
