As far as I understand it the Z-Wave backup is part of the main System backup and not a separate file.
So generally you would click the button to “Backup Z-Wave Network” first and then you would click the other button “Create Backup” to create the Vera System backup. The Z-Wave network backup is then part of that System backup.
Thank you for your replies, but if I cannot restore Z-wave only - what good will the backup/restore routine do me then? Something is f*cked up in my Vera causing trouble with almost all plugins, althue, datamine2 etc.
Are there any better products to buy? Vera does not really seem to have reached the consumer production realm yet. :-/
Can you not just restore a backup from the MIOS server list “Your System Backup Log” when it was last known to all be working OK ? That should restore the Z-Wave Network if you check the box for it and also restore the Vera system and plugins back to that state in time.
Nope, have not tired that as I’m afraid that it might brick my unit or and lock away my Z-wave data so I will have to re pair all my z-wave units after the factory reset. I have some of these (like in wall mounted dimmers) installed some distance the Vera and they will not easily be paired again.
Maybe that is not a problem?
Thank you all for helping me to backup and restore my Vera. As I imagined it helped nothing at all, all my problems are back after the restore. I need to restore only the Z-network and not all the other schmuck I have been fiddling with over the years. It’s a bit absurd that’s not an option. ^^
Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of. Bummer! Maybe I’ll just try to do another factory reset and try to pair my units again one by one. Gonna take forever though. :-/
