Please be aware if you have a lot of custom icons (like me) and do a restore you will lose ALL icons and have to do this:

- delete every single one of the missing icons

- reupload every single icon (no batch)

- edit all of your scenes

- change all the devices' icons

I made copies of all my icons but I still would have to do this.

WHY isn't Fibaro saving this data?

- because they find it too much data to be saved... (my icons are 1.3 MB in total)

SERIOUSLY, I rather have one full backup than hundred of old backups all missing my icons. Think about that.

This has to be included in 4.0, at least giving us the option,

so please dear users raise your voice in this thread.

Please login or register to see this image.

Hopefully Fibaro will react to this.

you only have to save the icons once, just one folder with all the icons.

with 10 backups is useless to save 10 times the same icons, just add the new icons to the icons folder

    That's a good point and since the numbering is unique it would be very easy for Fibaro to do this.

    On the wishes of the users unfortunately not always received.
    I have often tested beta. if they did not work then go back and all icons gone.
    Hours of work to restore them.
    That's why I will not test betas anymore.
    So you win customers. ;D

    Really sad.
