[VU+ Duo2] backup restore not working on apollo003

[bellejt]

I did a backup from Vix menu in apollo 001.I flashed box with apollo 003 and wanted to do a restore settings.Not working.Box says restore not compatible with this image.
I have to restore my settings trough FTP.

Not sure then. I've done dozens of restores from 001-backups on several boxes.

 

[bellejt]

restored from a zeus image and that is working.Just had to ftp the settings.Had a simular problem with the testore to apollo 1 from helios.

I did the upgrade an hour ago and it restored my settings from apollo 1

I have the same problem. Flashed from 001 to fresh 003 and got the same message that my backup settings from three days ago were not compatible!

A bit frustrating. Not knowing how or having any backup settings on my PC, I cannot update via FTP.

Same here. None of the backups I made with Apollo 001 worked with 003. Not even when I tried to restore to Apollo 001 itself. It just said "Restore not compatible with this image". Luckily I had an older backup from Helios that I could restore.
Maybe Apollo 001 made corrupt backups?

Maybe Apollo 001 made corrupt backups?

Doubtful, but without debug logs, impossible to tell.

Yep, just walked into this issue.
Regardless of it works for some people, I think there should be a general warning that restores from 001 may not work.
Fortunately, I still have my Zeus backups....... I normally delete previous system backups when I upgrade.

I normally delete previous system backups when I upgrade.

Well, that is exactly what you shouldn't do

 

[twol]

Well, that is exactly what you shouldn't do

Well, I normally keep the last image backup so can restore last image

 

[Rob van der Does]

IMHO it's good practise to keep a good number of back ups. That's the whole point of a back up. Why would you want to delete them?

I still have Helios 1 and 16 just found a Zeus 15 as well :roflmao: better safe than sorry and they don't take up much space on a 1TB HHD

Hmmm, not that we are aware of. And we do and did a lot of tests.
