    Replace Upgraded 750GB Drive

    Used the original 250GB drive in my DTV HR10-250 to upgrade to a 750GB drive. I would like to replace this 750GB with a 750GB DB35 drive. I would like to save the recordings from the first 750GB drive. I issue the command "backup -qTao - /dev/hda | restore -s 128 -r 4 -fzi - /dev/hdc" and receive the "backup target not large enough" error. I am using the v7.2 beta of MFSTools. I also tried using the original version of MFSTools, same error. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have a couple of 750GB drives to use if there isn't a direct way to save my recordings. Thank you.

    Try just this with the original version:

    Code:
    mfsbackup -Tao - /dev/hda | mfsrestore -s 127 -zi - /dev/hdc
    Been here a long time . . .

      Thank you for the advice; however, it didn't work. Received the same error message. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

        Try this:

        Code:
         mfsbackup -Tao - /dev/hda | mfsrestore -zi - /dev/hdc
        Do both 750s show the exact same size at boot?

          Yes. The only difference is the newer one designed for PVRs has a smaller cache (16MB -> 8MB). Thank you for your assistance.
