-Kevin N Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Hi Netduma Support. Windows 10, Netgear XR450, DumaOS Name: A7Legit, Firmware: V2.3.2.56 My apologies if this topic has been suggested before. I did do a search for it but there were no results. Current backups appear to be encrypted. It would be useful if a 'readable' backup of settings could be exported. The purpose for which would be for when applying a new firmware version and subsequently performing a factory reset. The backup would help users to restore their various settings. I realize that each settings page can currently be saved/printed but a central backup file would serve users better. Thank you for your consideration. -Kevin N
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 31, 2020 Administrators Posted March 31, 2020 Hey, welcome to the forum! Could you explain your idea a bit more please as I'm not sure I understand. The backup file will restore your previous settings so how would having it readable help to restore settings, surely this would elongate the process with you applying the settings manually?
-Kevin N Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 Hi Netduma Fraser, Thank you for your reply, It is my understanding that when updating to a new firmware version, the user should NOT use a backup created by the prior firmware version. It is also my understanding that the user should reset the router after a firmware upgrade. It would therefore be useful to have a backup with a list of all of the prior settings that could then be manually set in the new firmware. -Kevin N.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 31, 2020 Administrators Posted March 31, 2020 Ahh I see, I was thinking when you're on the same version. That's a Netgear feature so I'll pass it on to them.
-Kevin N Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 Hi Netduma Fraser, Thank you. I appreciate it. -Kevin N.
