Is it possible to back up entities, integrations, activities, and macros and transfer them to a different remote location?
Full backup and restore to a different remote 3
Only the activities and macros are transferred in my case; everything else has to be recreated.
I think this should work. Restoring activities without entity’s make no sense at all.
I understand, but how do I do that?
The only I way I know is performing a full backup/ restore via the setting page.
I only know of the “Backup and Restore” option under settings > general, but not everything is backed up there.
Does backup / restore worked (fully) if restored to the remote itself where you backup from?
No, only the macros I created myself (remote controls, etc.) will be restored. Third-party programs, such as Kodi, Yamaha Multicast, etc., will not be restored.
Either I’m doing something wrong, but I can’t select what to back up during the backup process. Let’s say my remote becomes defective and needs to be replaced; then I’m forced to reinstall everything.
Have you tried the remote uc integration manager?
yes , it works with that?
Custom integrations are not yet included in the backup. But you just need to re-upload them and rerun the setup. All your activities/macros are not affected. As already mentioned you can also use the integration manager (GitHub - JackJPowell/uc-intg-manager: An Unfolded Circle Integration to manage your Unfolded Circle Integrations · GitHub) to create and restore integration backups. Keep in mind that not all integrations support this as it’s not an official function.
UC plans to include custom integrations in the backup and also an easier way to update them.
Thanks for the information. A feature that allows full and incremental backups would be desirable.
And an automatic backup function would be great.
