TiVoWeb Backup Module

[CarlWalters]

does anyone use this backup module (http://www.boygenius.co.uk/tivo/download/index.php)? It looks pretty useful so I installed it following the instructions


copy tivoweb-backup-1_00_0017.tar.gz file to /var/hack/tivoweb-tcl/modules
gzip -d tivoweb-backup-1_00_0017.tar.gz
cpio -H tar -i < tivoweb-backup-1_00_0017.tar
chmod 755 backup.itcl
TiVoWeb full reload


I've done the full TiVoWeb reload a couple of times but the backup module just doesn't show up in the UI. I'm not sure what the problem is though.

By the way - I know that my sig shows that I have already got it but that was a while ago before I replaced my drive and I must have forgotten to re-install the module. So I must have had it working once :)

I use it and it's worked well. There are new problems to do with the dual Sky TV/Radio lineups, but I haven't got around to contacting the author about it as yet.

Could this be run using cron?

And if so, could some kind person post the command I'd need to insert into crontab?

No, it's an ordinary tivoweb module. You'd have to change it to work standalone like the daily mail stuff does.

aha! The backup module has now appeared in TiVoWeb after a TiVo re-boot. Excellent :D Although I thought it only needed a reload of TiVoWeb in order for it to appear.
