The way in which the backup .txt HELP description should read is as follows: (since english was not his first language, this is what I was able to determine and I have tested and it works)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note - the backup will create a dump of all "or" specified "mtd" (aka Mounted) partitions, using the following .TXT files and or params:
- If you create an empty .TXT file with the file name 'oob.txt' on the root of the flash drive, a dump of the OOB file(s) will be created. If you create a empty TXT file named 'omitoob.txt', then an OOB file will NOT be created. (if you break down the .txt file name, the first 4 letters of the second file name is "OMIT" aka "ignore")
- If you create an empty .TXT file with the file name 'dumpbad.txt' on the root of the flash drive, a dump of the file(s) PEBs will be created. If you create a empty TXT file named 'omitbad.txt' the the PEB file(s) will NOT be created.
- If you create an empty .TXT file with the file name 'mtd.txt', a 'grep -f mtd.txt' will be used as filter for /proc/mtd output. (meaning the system will look with this txt file to see what partitions you want to copy to the USB drive). If you DON'T create a file called 'mtd.txt', then ALL MTD partition found in the /proc/mtd directory will be dumped. (meaning, DON'T create this .txt file, so that you will copy all the MOUNTED drives into your USB)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep in mind, each of these files that you create (oob.txt, and dumpbad.txt) must be in the root of the USB drive where your backup script file is located. When you execute the "Firmware Update" feature on any DSO5000 device, the backup script will look for these files and take the predefined action. I did this on my device (a DSO5102P) just last night and I got all the necessary files I needed to conduct a restore should I need to do one via UART/USB.....
Hope this helps in claifying what the file "options" are when doing the backup of the scope's files.
