OpenZWave Configuration Backup/Recovery

I'm looking into performing a factory reset of the Rpi RaZberry board due to the current issues that I have that the OpenZWave won't initialize the nodes. So with the feature to backup the OZW configuration, would it be possible to also edit and change the order of the nodes in the configuration file, before performing recovery? I would assume that with RaZberry blank and then deleting both zwcfg_0x########.xml and zwcfg.xsd would make the current OZW installation clean and what ever I then recover from the backup config file would setup in accordance with what I want, right? So beside reorder the nodes I could then also easy remove some nodes which I could factory reset as well and re-include.

Boils down to that I really do want to avoid having to reset all nodes if possible...

Another question. When looking at OZW configuration file the Node ID is easy spotted but what about the ID numbers (00000301...) is this something that Domoticz create or is it related to OZW? Asking since if I factory reset the RaZberry board and recover the OZW configuration file would I then be able to have Domoticz to re-populate and reuse the existing devices created earlier or do I need to delete all zwave related devices and re-populate them again in Domoticz?

Realizing that the ID number correlates to the Node ID from OZW.

Regarding the reset of the OZW nodes and deleting the OZW configuration files, the OZW re-creates the config files with the same device and node setup as I deleted. So the question is still how do one actually deletes the OZW installtion in way that one can make a proper recovery?

In the end I performed full reset of the RaZberry and performed reset of all nodes and added them again. But, still... not ideal and would love to know what the proper process for OZW recovery.

Any way to restore previous zwave config. Only domoticz.db restore from the backups isn't the full scope.
