Backup My ICY BOX page
The Backup My ICY BOX page allows you to back up the files and folders on the ICY
BOX Mediaserver to a USB drive, and to restore files back to the device. The USB drive
uses the same directory structure as the device to organize the files.
Connecting a USB drive
If you are backing up your ICY BOX Mediaserver to a USB drive, you must connect the
drive to the ICY BOX Mediaserver. The drive will be flagged as a backup device, and
cannot be used for external storage. The drive must be formatted with NTFS:
 If the drive is formatted with NTFS, the ICY BOX Mediaserver application will
flag the drive as a backup device, but will not format it. Files on the drive will
remain intact.
 If the drive has a different format, the ICY BOX application will format the drive
and then flag it as a backup device. Any files on the drive will be deleted.
NOTE: Formatting the USB drive will delete its files.
5. Start the ICY BOX Application, and log in using your ICY BOX Mediaserver
account.
6. Connect the USB drive to the ICY BOX Mediaserver.
7. Go to the Backup My ICY BOX page. The following screen appears, prompting
you, how to enable USB backup.
Enable USB Backup (Preferences page)
Please select the device you wish to enable for backup (Use for Backup).
