How to Backup HDMU E2 Image Xpeed LX2

How do I backup my Image?

I am running the Xpeed LX2 HDMU image and have created a 28.2E image for people in UK and want to post a backup but I can't see how to do it.

Can you guys please let me know how to backup.

Thanks

if you know how to do a memdump of mtd partitions you can do it via telnet,
other solution: wait for the 1.5 of the admin tool (coming soon...)

Ok thanks

Looking on Google for instructions but not a lot coming up. If you can point me in the right direction then I can work the rest out.

OK - you have to read the mtd Partition table and to locate the important parts to be backed.
Then you can invoke a command similar to this one:

dd if=/dev/mtd6 of="/path/to/folder/uImage.bin";
(example of the UFS913)

But be careful - if you don't know how everything works it is a wise to wait for a tool managing everything ;)

I think this is a bit beyond my expertise. I'll wait for 1.5 to come out and then backup ;)

Thanks again for the response
