My Polisy and PLM got fried in a lightening strike.  I had a backup plm and got an eisy.  System worked well prior to the lightening.

Restored the eisy from a polisy backup that was just a few days old.

Did a replace PLM with the new PLM.  Then did a restore devices because it wasn't working right.

Now this:

1) Lots of scenes when controlled from eisy do nothing.

2) Lots of scenes no longer have settings for the devices but rather say "default".  Not all of them, but in some scenes it is all, other scenes just one device, some scenes none.  Below is a scene that is supposed to have levels for all those devices.

Links table for devices does show the new PLM address (for the handful I checked)

 

EDIT:

I've discovered if I take a scene that is not lost its settings to "default" and go down the list of devices and hit "update" for each device.  The scene then works.  What gives?  

EDIT2:

Tried restoring two other ISY backups, another one from a few days ago and one from 6 months ago.  They all are the same.  Most of my scenes have "default" instead of the settings that are supposed to be there for all the devices.

And the same restoring a 2 year old backup

I recently encountered an almost identical issue. Unfortunately for me my most recent backup was just prior to a bunch of changes. 

But what ended up happening for me is that something like 70% of devices/scenes restored correctly. I found that some controllers in a scene were not actually controlling the responder. Doing an individual device restore on the responder seemed to fix most issues. Occasionally I would also restore the controller that was misbehaving. That has fixed most of my issues. 

I would guess this might have something to do with wait periods or just the sheer amount of signals happening on the network that some signals don't actually get acknowledged fully/correctly.
