Can I restore part of a backup?

[Bill Morrow]

I assume not. 

 

I have not been in the Admin Console for a while, so when I  loaded it up I had a bunch of devices with the exclamation mark.   No amount of device updates/restores would fix these. So I restored the ISY, which fixed them all, but one troublesome wireless device. Anyway the last backup is missing some Network Resources, so I assume I have to add these the hard way? At least I can read them in the backup.

If you restored more than once without succes, then you'll probably have to recreate the network resources. But try http://www.universal-devices.com/contact-support/ and post back.

Thanks,

 

I was poking around the files a bit and they seem pretty straight forward. I'm going to compare the two zip files and see what's new in the latest backup. I'm hoping I can glue the two together and see what kind of beast I can create. Assuming there is no checksum in the file, I would not be surprised if there was.

 

Otherwise I'll just recreate the missing stuff.

If you ever exported your Network Resources, you can import that file back in.

It seems you can splice backups together and restore the Franken-Backup. At least it loaded and everything seems to be there. More testing required obviously.

 

I managed to recover some devices, network resources, climate configuration, a few programs and some variables.

 

The bad news is that when I loaded my ISY console this morning (BEFORE ANY OF the ABOVE) it was having trouble communicating with multiple devices again. Could be the modem, but I suspect something else. 

 

Time to backup Frankie again, while he still works
