Linux EHD Backup on E2 receivers

[Corrado]

I find the aging EHD I use on my Edision Mio 4K is nearing the end of it's life cycle. Curious what method other users utilize for duplicating or backing up recordings.

I know the receiver can move recordings between drives one at a time easy enough. What about running a command line in a Linux distro? Seems more efficient. Would the Edision have any issues with permissions if not done in a certain manner on the replacement hdd?

I have gone into our Edision Mio 4K+ using FileZilla running under Ubuntu Linux and pulled recordings off easily. Just select the ones you want and download them to your computer.

My laptop running Windows 10 Home, can see the Mio and external drive in Network Neighborhood (I mapped it), and I can do anything I want with it through that.

Needs to be tested, but if you config. mounts setup. And get the settings right to use a network share as hdd. Pull your EHD. Recording and backups should go over LAN to the mapped location. Or just replace the drive in the failing unit.

Thanks guys. I was totally overthinking the process and forgot about the Filezilla program. It's been years since I used it or the Dreambox editors and it escaped me.

The replacement HDD will be here Saturday and I will continue over the weekend.
