baabm Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Hi I just made some changes to my devices in my ISY device list. Specifically, I deleted 3 devices that I am no longer using. I went to backup after making the changes and got the error message in the title. Can someone tell me how to handle that. I would like to have a stable backup. Thanks, Bob Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Hi Bob, 1. Telne to ISY (http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Telnet_To_Your_ISY) 2. Login 3. Type the following followed by the Return button RF /CONF/varinit.1 With kind regards,Michel Link to comment
baabm Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Thank You Michel, But then I get an error saying "cannot delete VARINIT.1. I tried issuing the command with lower case /conf/varinit.1 and upper case /CONF/VARINIT.1 and a mix /CONF/varinit.1....and they all gave me the same error (I am not sure if capitalization is important or not.

baabm Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 More info. If I put a trailing / on the command, it seems to accept the command ( rf /conf/varinit.1/ )(i.e., I don't get an error message), but if I do an LS /conf both before and after executing that command, the varinit.1 file is still there, so it doesn't seem to delete it.

Michel Kohanim Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Hi baabm, RF is case sensitive. When you do the LS, what's the size of that file? With kind regards,Michel Link to comment
baabm Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 varinit.1 is52 bytes while varinit.2 is 84. So if RF is case sensitive, what is the right case for both the /conf and the /varinit? Thank you. Link to comment

baabm Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 That didn't work either...I still get the error. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 baabm RF /CONF/VARINIT.1 ... if that does not work, your SD Card is corrupt. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
baabm Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Thank you Michel. That seemed to do the trick. I thought I had used that command before, but perhaps I had something in lower case. Regards, Bob Link to comment
