Help: 2 Gig Backup File?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: rjsabmax

Can anyone explain why I have a 2G TIVO.BAK file? I did a "add big B drive" to a standalone SVR2k, used Kazymyr's CD (so MfsTools 1.0) and followed Hinsdale's guide. The backup went fine (but took a long time), and I restored the backup to test it in the TiVo and that went fine also (took a long time to restore). The upgrade is complete and the TiVo seems to be working fine now. There WERE recorded shows on the A drive before the upgrade, and those are still there, but I thought MfsTools ignored them.

MS-DOS is reporting the size of the file as 2Gig.

Since everything seems to work fine, I'm not too worried, it's just not what I expected from Hinsdale's directions. Also, not as easy to burn to CD for storage.

Many thanks, RJ
