5.2.7.1 Backing up and restoring system settings
Backing up system settings
Use Backup to save the current system settings in a backup file. Once the system has created the backup file a browser dialogue opens allowing you to save the file (e.g. on your laptop).
Select
Save and choose the storage location of the backup file in the opening dialogue. The file name must not be changed as part of this process!

Ex.: Firefox Dialogue
Please note that the settings for the individual device values and network settings of the digitalSTROM Server are not included in the backup!
The backup includes only the system settings of the digitalSTROM Server:
- Names of devices, rooms, activities, digitalSTROM Meters
- System settings such as system name, SSH access, location and time zone
- Configuration of digitalSTROM Server apps
The names of the digitalSTROM Meter and associated digitalSTROM terminal blocks (20 characters maximum) are also stored in the digitalSTROM Meter. If a digitalSTROM Server is replaced these names are automatically transferred to the digitalSTROM Meter.
Restoring system settings
Use
Search to select the backup file from which you want to restore the system settings.

Ex.: Firefox Dialogue
Then use Restore to start the recovery of the system settings from the selected backup file.
After completion the web-based digitalSTROM Configurator is automatically reloaded in the browser.
