Hi folks,
yesterday I decided to see if what I suggested in another thread would work and that is to use the API export/import function for a restore.
First fail was you still need to use the XG backup security key if you wish to performa full restore.
Next the file was accepted by my home XG and the restore process started.
For some reason that does not show in the logs the system diagnostics report no activity for about 5 hours until I logged in this morning. The CPU does show no usage and is active. Strange. The restored XG is connected the the internet through the XG115w.
Next I checked the various items that should have been changed
1/. clientless users, not updated
2/. anti-spam failed to start, a manual restart was required.
3/. one interface is incorrectly labelled as WAN and as a result the DHCP server for that interface was not restored. This could be caused by the interface order being different on the XG115W to the order on the home machine.
4/. I tried a restart of the XG to see if that would fix the missing items, fail.
5/. after the restart the proxy service will not start, tried a number of times.
6/. DDNS update now has two entries, one for the old name and one for the restored name, the old name for the home machine still registers and not surprising the restored name does not because it would be a duplicate entry in the DDNS application server. Also the restored name does not get assigned an IP address on the restored XG.
I have not checked all the rules because of the missing interface.
