Backups with new AC

Featured Replies

Is there a way to have ISY save the new backup directly to a file folder that exists on my hard drive? All I seem to do is download it and then have to manually save it by moving it from my downloads to that file folder. I also noted that the backup from the new AC is labeled pg3-backup, where the old AC is IoX-Backup. Is there a difference?

Yes, I do this all the time for all files I download.

It sounds like you might not have "ask where to save downloaded files" turned on in your browser settings. In my case, I don't use the downloaded file folder at all. Everything I download gets saved right in to a folder of my choosing.

In Mac Safari, under Settings / general, you can select Ask for each download for the location.

I'll adjust the download settings, thanks.

Is there a difference in these files per my question above? Is this simply a change in the format due to the new AC? I did a download of the backup yesterday and they indeed do have different names.

Someone from UDI would need to answer that. But my impression is that they are all inclusive backups now covering all parts fo the system where-as in the past we had to do it in several steps to get it all.

The only one I am not sure about is whether or not the old PGX3 Dashboard / backup is included.

The names of my backups are: eisy-backup-2026-10-22 09.49.32.zip

And here is the "output" verification of the complete backup:

This is what I'm getting:

pg3-backup-10-21-2026_104918_AM.tgz

.tgz rather than .zip

How do you see the "output" nomenclature?
