We are actually working on improving this function for the next release and long term service version 1.20 coming up for testing end of March.
Currently (version 1.12) the way would be:
Set up ctrlX CORE to full functionality
Create and download backup of the application apps via "Backup/Restore" mechanism
Set up new control hardware to the same base image (system app) version
Restore backup of the application apps via "Backup/Restore" mechanism
Add license for needed apps
Check system settings and full functionality
In future (from 1.20) it will be:
Set up ctrlX CORE to full functionality
Make backup via "Setup" mechanism (data of apps stored in configuration are included, app private files are not)
Set up new control to the same base image (system app) version
or use a USB stick/µSD card including base image, "Setup" file (go to step 5)
or change the "Setup file" to your needed version/settings
Restore backup via "Setup" mechanism (including app data, application apps, system settings)
Add license for needed apps (only required if not manually added to the "Setup" file)
Check full functionality
