Backup Utility for the Aeon Stick

Dont know if anybody know, but there is a backup utility for the Aeaon Z-Stick Gen5 (not the older S2 one)

I’m in the process of moving over to the new one, which is a very time consuming operation.
In fact my whole house is covered in zwave, with some minor kaku switches.
That means if for whatever reason the stick turns defective, I have a major problem.
With this utility I can make a copy of the Z-Stick Gen5 and keep it as a distaster recovery.
I had to build myself a new windows server, and a new instance of domoticz with the Z-Stick Gen5 because there is no way to migrate from the old one to the new one.
If course I don’t want to do that again.
I ordered a new backup Z-Stick Gen5 and I will test this as soon as possible.

Keep you informed.

What's wrong with including everything again?
Did it already twice for 52 nodes.

Uhm, the fact that most nodes are hidden in walls and ceilings maybe?

Full backup AND restore. Restore on the new stick will make the new stick controller for the old network as if the old stick is back!
Did you manage to backup the old stick, and restore the config on the new gen5 stick.
Because Aeon is mentioning that this will not work.
Only exchange of config on the new gen5 stick.
