Re: Uverse DVR Crash--All Recorded Programs Lost
You know what would really be cool?  If not only could you backup your dvr, but ad another hd to the stb and use the external hd to record more programming.  You could have unlimited record space.  Unlimited!

And this is a problem with digital music servers, too. Due to DRM issues, many DMS server canufacturers don't give users an easy way to copy (and I mean image an identical copy) of their HDs. Hence, when my 500 GB music server with 600+ CDs loaded on it crashes, I have to reload the entire thing, again! (Well, not really as I've hacked it and I can get a complete copy, but I've not been able to hack the DVR in such a way as to make it as easy; certainly removing the HD and imaging it will work, but that's not easy nor something that AT&T will condone).
 
It's a serious issue that digital media companies need to address.
