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

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

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.

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.

Hi baabm,

 

RF is case sensitive. When you do the LS, what's the size of that file?

 

With kind regards,
Michel

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.

Thank you.

RF /CONF/varinit.1

That didn't work either...I still get the error.

RF /CONF/VARINIT.1 ... if that does not work, your SD Card is corrupt.

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
