bgrubb1 Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Does a ISY Backup / Restore include the Zwave Dongle ?? My former life on a Vera 3 required you to do a Zwave Backup prior to the Vera backup to get a "Complete Baclup" Second question IN my Vera days I had a "Spare" backup of the vera that I had restored on the "backup Vera" If I had issues, I just unplugged main Vera and Plugged in Backup Vera. Can this be done with an ISY ??

Can this be done with an ISY ?? I can't speak to the Z-Wave portion as I don't have one. But if you have a 2413S PLM fail all you need to do is plug in the new PLM and select restore PLM. Following the Wiki in doing so of course . . .
Michel Kohanim Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 Hi bgrubb1, ISY backup doesn't backup the Z-WAVE dongle. You need to backup the Z-WAVE dongle as well. Yes you can restore a backup on a different isy and everything will be back to normal. With kind regards, Michel
bgrubb1 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 So to clarify please. I did a complete Zwave Backup. then an ISY backup to my local disk The ISY backup INCLUDES the Zwave backup ?? ....Barry
stusviews Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 The ISY backup does NOT include Z-Wave devices. The ISY backup is for Insteon devices only. The Z-Wave backup is for Z-wave device only.
bgrubb1 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 When I did the Zwave Backup, it said completed, but did not offer a file to save
Michel Kohanim Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Hi Barry, Z-Wave backup is stored in ISY so that when you backup your ISY, it's included in it. And, if you need to restore, you simply go to Z-Wave | Tools | Restore. With kind regards, Michel
bgrubb1 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 so to restore Zwave, you select the ISY backup file correct ?
Michel Kohanim Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Hi Barry, You restore ISY backup first then you do Z-Wave / Tools / Restore. With kind regards, Michel
MikeD Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Hi Barry, You restore ISY backup first then you do Z-Wave / Tools / Restore. With kind regards, Michel Hi Michel, To further clarify; You must perform a Z-Wave backup every time a Z-Wave device is added/changed on your network, then follow it by an ISY backup. Is that a correct statement? Thanks, ~Mike
Michel Kohanim Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Hi Mike, Yes, quite correct! With kind regards, Michel
