Best way to save ISY configs and programs?

[ferdies]

Hi,

 I had my ISY's configs (variables, email notifications/contents) and programs I want to preserve and reference back from my old install. What is the best way to do it?

 

I don't want to re-create some of the programs but I am in a temporary place at the the moment with less devices and would like to use only a some features/programs I have created. I will then have a full-blown version when I move to a permanent one (http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/19218-new-installation-insteon-or-z-wave/.

 

Appreciate the feedback.

Hi ferdies,

 

File | Backup ISY.

 

If you have Z-Wave, then:

1. Z-Wave | Tools | Backup | Full

2. File | Backup ISY

 

To restore:

File | Restore ISY.

 

If you have a new Z-Wave enabled ISY, then:

1. File | Restore ISY

2. Z-Wave | Tools | Restore

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Thanks for the feedback, Michel.

 

Just to provide more clarity - I have only few Insteon device in my new place, and mostly, plug-ins devices. So essentially, I wanted to do is to access programs and list of variables offline so I can copy some programs.

 

could I save into a file all my programs and other configs, not using backup?

 

Again, I have moved to a new place but I brought some plug-in devices and my ISY.

 

Thanks.

Or is there any way to disable all programs? Thanks.

right click on a program then click disable, you'll needto disable each program one at a time.

Thanks! I was thinking there was a way to disable ALL programs all at the same time. I guess I have to do it individually

Hi ferdies,

 

You can click on My Programs folder and create a condition that's never true :

1. Click on the If

2. Click on Schedule button

3. Uncheck All (next to Sunday, etc.)

4. Click Save

You should get something like "On Never". This will disable ALL your programs.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Also,  To answer the original question, you can right click the top of the program tree and select "Copy folder to clipboard", then paste into word or a text editor for a complete, human readable listing of all programs.

 

Hope this helps.

So how would one go about pasting the saved folder structure info BACK into the ISY?

You cannot restore a text program. You can only restore a backup created by the iSY.
