Yes it does. The OTA update set there for 30 minutes and nothing. If you can't help, don't answer please

no it doesn't

reboot and next time post in the correct section

which would be the u5 section

@dishuser, your screenshot is from the BuzzTV5, menu / settings / configuration / Back up and restore, not the one I was commenting on. Oops!

ya you can't do a backup from utilities and use it on a different model

you can backup app settings,servers,favourites and favourite groups and use that on another model

The DATA backup, as we have in BuzzTV 5 app, can be anywhere (internal or external).

However the OLD backup (as was originally available on Android 9 boxes - option under Settings->BuzzTV Utilities), is only to external, since it takes an "image" of the internal drive.  Actually I just tried in on my 4500 and E2 (it has been removed on the 4900 - and I think it should be from all others if there is ever another update on them).  If you try to launch it with no external storage, it actually gives you a full screen warning that there is no external storage and only option is "ok" to exit the app.

the 4900 never had backup in utlities

Though I would pass on what I’ve learned about backups on the BuzzTV 5, and the 4500’s with Android 9 (I had both a 4500 and 4500 MAX).

The backup in settings / configuration in BuzzTV 5 backs up your servers, setting and favourites in a zip format which can be transferred to another box.

On the 4500’s under Buzz utilities there is a full system (box) backup and restore feature, and it is unique to the box itself and can’t be used to restore another box.

It can only back up to SD or thumb drive (not internal storage), and if your backup file showed 0 bytes then it’s likely 4 gig or larger, so you need to format as X-fat or NTSF. If you put the card in a PC and run check and repair errors the true file size will populate, but it will still be unusable for restore. Hope that helps. It would be great if Buzz would bring this feature back one day. 

this pic proves you wrong

That must have been what I did wrong, I used the Buzz utilities backup instead of backup in settings.

That explains why the files were their but showed 0 bytes.

Lesson learned, thanks Dave J

if you back up to internal first it will be for example 15 kb

I had no issues and I can use it on any models that has backup and restore

you backup to internal

then you use a file manager to transfer it to stick or card

then it can be used on other boxes

@nbs. See first post.

@dishuser I prefer Classic.

@Dave J Ok, thanks. 

that's why I said to use modern...lol

use modern

you should be at 5.0.919

what home screen are you using?

you want your backup on external

transfer from internal to external

if you were to do a reset and only had backup on internal you would lose it

also on your 4500 did you do a factory reset and see if restore worked or not?

Emporium,

I just did a backup on the XRS4500 and when I hit restore it show up as being able to restore.

On that same USB drive the XRS4500 MAX is also on it, but that backup is not shown when I try to restore it on the XRS4500

This seems to be telling me I CAN NOT USE the backup of the XRS4500 MAX on the XRS4500 like dishuser thought I could do.

Am I correct in assuming you can only use a backup on identical Buzz boxes?  (Example XRS4500 to another XRS4500 and XRS4500 MAX to another XRS4500 MAX)

it's not what I thought it could...lol

it actually works and is interchangeable with the buzztv 5 software

did you use a file manager?

cause I just used my 4900 backup on my x5 and had no problems

and that's why I use the backup from my x5...lol

that's why if you need a ps replacement order it from buzz

Thank you dishuser!

 

I use the backup from my x5 on all my devices

yes

the 3900 has same drive connector

You are lucky it was in that direction.  DO NOT use the U5 power supply on the older boxes (except the xrs4900).

The U5 and XRS4900 use a 12V power supply (due to the internal HDD), most (if not all) of the other Buzz boxes use a 5V power supply.  Do it in the other direction and it may be a "smokey" experience.

 

 

due to internal hdd?

every device has that

are you using the power supply that came with it?
