[rodder]

I need to know what i am doing wrong i go to software management, backup system settings, a do a backup but when i get ready for it it is not there
i also went into advance setting to make sure my hard drive is sellected for backup

[el bandido]

Have you checked the backup folder on your hard drive to see what is in it?

[rodder]

i did not make a backup folder i thought it would just show as backup i looked and do not see a way to make a backup folder?

[el bandido]

The backup folder is made automatically when the settings are backed up to the hard drive. Check and see if this folder is on your hard drive.

[rodder]

no nothing on the hard drive

[el bandido]

Ok
Something is not correct. I will try and post information in a bit that shows how to make and install a backup of settings.

[el bandido]

See the link for a short video on how to save and restore settings when internal hard drive is attached. Let me know if you have any issues.

that is exactly what i do but it does not work

[el bandido]

Have you initialized the hard drive, or did you just plug it in without doing anything else?
How big of a hard drive do you have?
Has it been formatted?

Might be easier for rodder to use Filezilla, log on to receiver and go to /media/hdd and see if there is anything there, specifically /backup folder. Then proceed with instructions from there.
