Ok, I'm convinced! The huge 'difficulty' of upgrading firmware is the last straw. ;D I'm selling my Rigol DS2000 and buying a less powerful Agilent DSOX2000!
Hydrawerk:
Anyway I am not going to try what happens if there is a power cut during firmware upgrading of DSOX-2002A. I hope that nothing happens, but who knows? :-//

This is just overly cautious language from a manufacturer. Cutting power to any electronic device when it's re-writing internal memory is never a good idea. But the UltraVision series have a boot-loader built into non-volatile memory that makes it almost impossible to brick the device - since you can, in theory, always recover from half-written firmware.

before and after i had my 1703 minutes left...

Sorry to disagree, but I specifically installed trial options using a new license code then did a self-cal. and they vanished. So I don't know what happened when you did it, but when I did it they were erased. So I don't think it's wise to tell people it's been solved yet until we know the parameters of exactly when it does/doesn't erase them.

see attached file, where now the date is left out. It seems they put the para.txt in the file.

As mentioned a few times, the header disappears after a couple of saves.
