This is an info post only....


I just tried a tool from "FERRARI"

The readme has this text...

--snip--
1. set the DM8000 in standby
2. copy the the files (buildimage, build-nfi-image.sh, mkfs.jffs2) to /usr/bin
3. Change fileattributet to 755 on this files


To make a .nfi Image off your DM8000 to hdd
Start a telnet session against your DM8000 and write:

build-nfi-image.sh /media/hdd


Exempel Telnet window
root@dm8000pvr ~ # build-nfi-image.sh /media/hdd
dm8000pvr found
***
download secondstage-dm8000pvr-76.bin
create boot.jffs2
create root.jffs2
create secondstage
create dm600pvr nfi-image
nfi-image create on /media/hdd/backup_image_dm8000pvr20071007.nfi
***
root@dm8000pvr ~ #

Backup is finished (it takes about 10-15 minutes)
--snip--


I however found a bug and corrected it in my version of the build-nfi-image.sh script (the mount command pointed to an nonexistent device). Also it's not totally automatic to get a new "secondstage" file. The one used is "76". After the bug fix in she shell script it created the NFI image correctly.
