[ViX_Misc] image backup

[paulfg]

not sure if this is the correct place to post,if not please move.
I power off my vu box every night and unplug from the mains as we have bad power fluctuations when the weather is thundery and I have lost boxes before due to this.
I have noticed that although my image backup is set to 1 a month and next backup is shown as 30 days later on the screen ,a backup appears to be done every time I power the box up.
Is there a setting to stop this?

thanks

It's a bug in the code (it works everything out again at each reboot - never remembers when it did the last image backup).

I have a fix, but it isn't in the standard image (yet?). See the NoPromptImageBackup entry at:

There's one here (although the text seems to be oddly garbled for me...)

Do you wish me to put it in a new thread?

Yes please, as that one is not in our dev-bugreport section.
