Reverting to ISY

[yardman 49]

Hello Michel:

 

Here's a question for the "What if" category:

 

____________________________________________

 

I'm still using the ISY-26 (very happily, I might add!). At some point I'm going to switch over to the 99ir. But I figure that I'll let MikeB and all the other "bleeding-edgers" work out all of the neat things that can be done with it first .

 

I know that going from the ISY-26 to the 99ir should be painless. Just load in the latest backup file from the ISY-26, and I should be off and running (assuming that I use the same PLM).

 

 

 

The question is: what happens if I ever have to go backwards?

 

I like to think about all possible scenarios. So let's say that the 99ir dies, or gets stolen, or a power surge fries it, or my dog eats it, or whatever. I guess that I could always go back to using the good ol' ISY-26.

 

But could I then take the most recent 99ir backup file and apply it to the ISY-26 without bad things happening??

 

 

Thanks and Happy New Year!

I guess yes. Michels turn.

 

But what would it do with the IR data that might be added to any new backups?

Hello Frank,

 

Unfortunately the answer is no simply because ISY-26 was not designed with 99 in mind. If anything happens to 99, we'll send you a new one!

 

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Thanks for the speedy reply, Michel. I've added this information to the 99i migration section in the Wiki.
