hi guys - i trying to back up my blackhole image..used the downlaoded script..executed the script....ive got a usb of 256mb where i want to backup the image, but once the backup process starts..it doesnt backup anything to the usb...does it backup on the box itself...ive been to media/usb..but there is nothing in there that is around 45mb that should be my backup image..i get the following screen message when its backing up:

"Execution Progress

vuplus detected

Examine free memory, it approx. 60MB one needs
memory is small 60MB

It takes quite a while to back up and during that time you get the screen you got. It appears to be doing nothing, then all of a sudden you get a completed message,
Try again and wait longer.

After saying that it does back up better to the internal hdd.
I had some issues backing up to a usb stick as well.
You should back up to hhd then ftp into the box and save the backup file on your computer for safety's sake. You can copy your backup file onto a usb stick from there, then if you get problems with your box later you can do a cold boot from the usb stick to restore your settings.
