Dvr Backup And Restore Software for Windows (DvrBARS)

I disabled all 4 devices and now it starts up. Then I re-enabled a single device and it does not. I ran the mfs reformatter and it does startup successfully, though the screen is blank when it starts up (and tells me I don't have a the right TiVo attached).

 

Interestingly, I have a HP laptop with a SD card reader and MSFR wasn't interfered by it.

 

I had run it my wife's dell (Dimension 660s). I worked yesterday, but Microsoft was kind enough to upgrade it to windows 10 overnight. Now it does not work. So it worked with windows 7, but not windows 10. I did not try to disable devices and presume that would make it work

 

Disk manager is currently showing my primary boot drive (0) and a secondary drive that I have split in 2 (1) as active drives.

The card reader is showing up as blank disks 2-6.

And then a DVD-R drive

I did disable the card reader by unplugging it from the MB and the program still wouldn't start. I don't see a setting in my Bios to disable it that way.

 

reading the latest post, I'm realizing I disabled the drives in the device manager. That would tell me that the crash is when you query the device and since it's disabled, then it does not exist. I would think the bios disable or unplugging would accomplish the same action

 

Any other ideas? I'd be willing to try a few test binaries (with logging etc) if that would help.

 

I ran dvrbars it in disabled mode and was able to restore the TiVo. The disk drive was ~5 years old. I made a copy of the original disk without any errors, but I think it was in an infinite reboot mode, so it was a dead disk. Now it's in trash & disassembled. New image is online and working.

Big debate is do I replace my drive before it dies. It's been running since January 2010, so I'm past the 5 year mark on that drive

 

I presume I can use dvrbars on any TiVo. My TiVo is a tivohd that I will need to clone. 1TB drive, so it's going to take a long time to copy. Does anyone know of an easy way to purge all the deleted shows? That would really shorted the copy time.

 

Anyone have an image for a TCD746320, the grandfather-in-law is stating his HDD is starting to click, figured I better bring a new HDD up just in case.

... and while I am at it can I get one for the TCD750500 as my parent's is the same vintage and rather than go looking I will just have it when needed.

Thanks in advance.

 

I'm also looking for an image for the TCD746320 if any one has it. I've been trying to copy the image I have onto a new drive, but I can't get jmfs to recognize it as a Tivo drive. I'm running out of space on my other Tivo and time to fix it before I leave on a trip Tuesday, so for now I'm cutting my program losses and just looking for an image to start over. Thanks

 

Thanks, ggieseke, your message storage has been exceeded so I couldn't reply to the PM.

 

Opening the device manager in "Disk Drives" and disabling each drive related to the multi-card reader worked.

I am now able to start DVRB without it crashing.

Not sure why actually unplugging the device from the MB didn't work, and my bios didn't have a setting to disable, so this is an easier solution. Thanks.

 

I need a backup image for a TiVo TCD748000 Premiere XL. I tried to back it up using WinMFS before I realized it wouldn't work with a Premiere unit and screwed up the hard drive. Anyone know of a way to bring it back without having to restore an image to it?

Thanks in advance!
