Hello,

My Pi SD Card has become corrupt and no backup.

I can however access the files on the SD Card on a linux PC.

Is it possible to recover my Razberry Z-Wave installation y copying across a config file or the likes to the new SD Card running on the Same Pi and Razberry board as original install?

Regards,
James

I am looking for a config file, maybe config.xml or something from the old card I can move across to the new card.

Does anything like this exist?

James have you already installed zway on the new sd card ?

If you have. Go into ExpertUI and make a backup before you do anything else. (I'm not sure, but think this backup is mainly the Razberry board data)
You might as well do the other backup in SmarthomeUI Configuration-Management tab.
It's not a config file you need, but the whole 'z-way-server' folder.

sudo /etc/init.d/z-way-server stop
On the New SD card. Rename /opt/z-way-server folder to 'z-way-server-old-2018'
Copy the old 'z-way-server' folder from the old SD card to /opt/ on the new SD card.
sudo /etc/init.d/z-way-server start



But. If you havn't yet installed zway on the new SD card !
I would wait for Support guys to answer, or E-mail them.
You do not want to lose the data on the Raspberry card.
I am not sure if a new install does an automatic cleanup of the Raspberry card.

Have fun trying that.
Cheers Micky.

Awesome, thanks will give it a try.

Thanks, I tried the above and my devices are not present once I login so my config is gone.

Are you sure that you are running same z-way version, better same raspberry system, Jessie or Stretch?
And is your Razberry board initialized? Then the old folder should be copied like mikey1500 wrote and it should work.

How would I be able to tell version from old files I have on SD card, indeed which OS the dead card was as I can't remember?

Many Thanks.

One hint maybe the date when the folder was created. Normaly you have also some backup folders in this directory, which always
show a date code.
I understood that you can read the files from the SD card.
