Question about Dreambox backup

Hi everyone im quite new to the dreambox but have gotten used it quite quickly. I have made a full backup image of my box using this:
"BACKUP your image:
1) Telnet to your dreambox, login as root
2) type in cat /dev/mtd/3 > /var/tmp/backup.img
3) you can download this image to your pc via ftp"

My question is will it restore C*** S**** information aswell.

Thanks in advance

If he were not a wizard, from head down to the root, you would have got to worry-your DB only boots

Are you using CCcam? Just copy /etc/cccam.cfg to your computer.

The backup should contain all the information as well.

Yes MGcamd will work on Nabilo.

You've already been given the solution to your problem here.......

If your using MGcamd then note down the contents of .../keys/mg_cf instead of CCcam.cfg. You might also want to note the contents of newcamd.list
