Saturday at 04:04 PM2 days @Techman I am now using Eisy-UI. Prior to that, I was doing the backups listed in the attachment.Does the one "Create Backup" button in the Eisy-UI replace all but UD Mobile? If so, it's a timesaver.Thanks,Ross
Saturday at 06:00 PM2 days Author Yes, the eisy-ui is backup is a comprehensive backup. The topology feature is not net supported by eisy-ui but will hopefully be included in the near future.

I keep getting an error message. Any advice? My system is up to date.

The topology and copy-folder-to-clipboard functions are also not available currently on eisy-ui, rather you must use Admin Console for those functions.
Yesterday at 02:34 PM1 day Author @MWenger Try doing a poiwer cycle on the eisy. If that doesn't resolve the backup issue then open a support ticket@wmcneil The programs should be included in the backup. Topology is not yet supported in eisy-ui, hopefully it will be soon.

I hope this gets implemented sooner rather than later.

Where are the programs stored in the archive?

Weatherflow plugin when moved to Eisy ui, did something so that 18 programs are now "not loaded" and have a blank line. I have no idea what th blank line was.. I will need to open up my text back up of my programs and go thru them one at a time, fix them, save them, and then enable them as they seem to turn disabled when coming out of a Not Loaded state.
4 hours ago4 hr @dbwarner5 I had the Not Loaded problem with a few programs. Apparently, EISY-UI didn't like the "/" character in my program names (e.g., On/Off). It also didn't like any program where I called upon the plugin ST-Sonos (which, per another thread, is not working in EISY-UI). Once I changed "/" to "-" and deleted lines related to ST-Sonos, the programs worked. There may be other reasons why your programs are Not Loaded, but I would look for non-alphanumeric characters and lines that call non-workable (yet) plugins.I had a lot of iAqualink plugin issues. I just reverted that one back to PG3. I haven't had time to research why I had trouble with that one yet.I also agree with you that having a text file for my programs is very helpful.Ross
4 hours ago4 hr @Ross So far the migration of plugins has been less than a stellar experience. I have had to revert back: Notifications, Ratdgo, HUE, TimeData and ElkOnes that I have not migrated due to known issues: ST inventory, Meross, Matter.Others that have required some or significant program fixing / intervention: KASA, SUN, WEATHERFLOW, iAqualinkOnes that have worked first try w/o issues: Russound, Holidays, YoLink, Ring, and WebControl
