Backup and Restore with old versions

[rum1]

Hello,

I have a question about backup and restore. Suppose I create a backup of a core and want to restore it to a new core that already contains the new app versions (new Release Milestone). Is this then possible or are the same app versions always required?

The backup includes all your application apps. So the version already installed on the ctrlX CORE will be overwritten. We are working on a function to select which parts should be backed up and restored.

Thank you!

And a additional question: how does it look if a systemapp got an update compared to backup, does it still work?

[CodeShepherd]

The system apps will not be touched by the restoring process at the moment.

If the system apps are older than other apps in the backup file, can the restore process still be proceed? Will it have compatibility problem then??

Hi redford,

as written in the upate chapter 2.2.1 of the release notes it is not possible to restore a backup from an older version.

But you can save your configuration, so at least all your appdata is still available.
