[PROBLEM] How to restore IMG backup file

[mk01]

@salar521

image backup is supposed to be directly "flashed" into SD card back.

but if you manually installed new XBian etc, you can "open" the .img file as block device (like USB disk).

Code:

sudo -i
modprobe loop
kpartx -av /path/to/my/img.file

kpartx command will create two new "partitions" - /dev/mapper/loop0p1 and /dev/mapper/loop0p2 - which you can mount manually or just with "usbmount" command (and content should appear under /media)

Code:

sudo usbmount /dev/mapper/loop0p2
