Use Polisy as hot backup for eISY?

[hart2hart]

Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend.

 

I’m all migrated and upgraded to eISY and PG3x - great hardware and software. It and the UD staff are world class. Michel and everyone else connected with UD set the bar high and then achieve even more!

 

I planned to purchase another eISY to have as an onsite backup but they just went out of stock. I don’t want to compete with those needing their first unit. As luck would have it, it appears that with latest release that PG3X now runs on the Polisy. Am I correct in my understanding that a Polisy (for now) can be that backup? If so, I will keep it updated and then purchase another eISY when the demand is not as high.

Realize that currently, the PG3 backup/restore doesn't handle the fact that the IoX may also be changing so creating a backup of eisy and trying to restore to a Polisy (or another eisy) doesn't fully work.

The backup/restore processes were written with the assumption that PG3 was pointing to a ISY994 and that if you replaced the Polisy, you'd still want to new Polisy to point to the same ISY994 (this was all done before IoP/IoX existed and hasn't been updated since).

Fixing this is on the todo list.

Thanks Bob. I’ll look forward to the update.
