belanger Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hello, I'm confused w/ all the options, can someone explain those options : 1. File -> Backup ISY 2. File -> Restore ISY 3. File -> Restore Devices (Insteon only? or Insteon & Z-Wave?) 4. File -> Restore Model (PLM) 5. Z-Wave -> Tools -> Backup -> Normal 6. Z-Wave -> Tools -> Backup -> Full 7. Z-Wave -> Tools -> Restore (this one I get it!) Does Backup ISY include a backup of the Z-Wave devices? A clear explanation off each option in the wiki would useful, if it's there I didn't find it.

Teken Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hello, I'm confused w/ all the options, can someone explain those options : 1. File -> Backup ISY <- Backs up all settings and programs 2. File -> Restore ISY < Restores the system from the back up you created. 3. File -> Restore Devices (Insteon only? or Insteon & Z-Wave?) <- Restore device is for Insteon and inserts what the ISY has in its data base to bring a device to a previous state. 4. File -> Restore Model (PLM) <- This will insert all the links from a old PLM into a new PLM 5. Z-Wave -> Tools -> Backup -> Normal 6. Z-Wave -> Tools -> Backup -> Full 7. Z-Wave -> Tools -> Restore (this one I get it!) Does Backup ISY include a backup of the Z-Wave devices? A clear explanation off each option in the wiki would useful, if it's there I didn't find it. Pierre Answers in line . . . I don't own any Z-Wave so can't comment on what normal vs full does. Link to comment
giesen Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 My understanding is you have to do a Z-Wave backup first (which will store the backup on the ISY's file system) then do an ISY backup which will include the Z-Wave backup. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment
belanger Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 I never made a backup before, i.e. I was always just playing around... but somehow lost a bunch of devices after re-installing 5.0.4 ... so, clearly it's important I do those backup now Thank you, Pierre Link to comment
