Old backup in .json, new version want .bin #803

Closed smarticz closed 9 months ago

smarticz commented 9 months ago

Hello, old versions create json backup and newest version want bin. It's possible to convert that file from json to bin?

Inside that files have different schema.

sidoh commented 9 months ago

Yeah, the new format contains both aliases and a backup of the settings JSON. It's possible to convert but don't have a tool that does it.

You can still upload the .json file via POST /settings manually with curl or something similar and it'll have the same effect.

Are you having an issue with settings after upgrading?

smarticz commented 9 months ago

Im downgraded to version with json support and uploaded backup. Now I updated to the latest version and it works :)

sidoh commented 9 months ago

Gotcha. Glad you were able to figure it out.

Did you lose settings when you upgraded to 1.11?

smarticz commented 9 months ago

Probably not. I didn't lost anything, because I only upload backup, upgrade and everything is fine.

Im not sure for 100%, I have a lot of default settings, but Mqtt setup and automatic restart after 60 min were definitely taken from the backup.

You shouldn't need to restore a backup when upgrading -- they should all be transferred over seamlessly. There's a noisy warning in the firmware upgrade modal about backing up settings, but that's really a "just in case" kinda thing.

Gonna close this since it seems like we got it figured out, but let me know if I'm missing anything!
