I usually backup my stuff once per month (or more often if I'm messing around with things).

Here are my folders with remind me what I need to do. Please let me know if I'm missing any important backups. I don't know if I need to backup the topology, but I do.

I have an ISY with a Polisy and use UDM.

Thanks,
Ross

@Ross I think you have it all.. I dont use topography so I dont back that up.

If you use Zwave, you may want to do a back up of that, which saves it in the ISY (does not download a file), so you need to do it BEFORE you back up the Isy.

As for frequency. it's so simple to back up the big three: ISY, UDM and Programs, that I do that every time I make a change. As for PGX, I think it is far less needed in frequency, unless you change a plugin, as I think it is only saving your plugins and their settings, which dont change very often.

The Topography report contain a lot of useful information. When you run it, it will ask you to save a copy as well as displaying a copy on your desktop.

So I just ran the report.. It is missing about ½ of my nodes.. what is the purpose of that? And every one it did include shows "is load" as no.

Seems like it maxed out at 100.. With 654 nodes.. this doesn't really add any value.

My topography report shows all my nodes and scenes. The "Load" status correctly displays.

I have over 100 nodes. I'm on an eisy.

Are the nodes that aren't showing in a folder?
