RBR852 - Device Names Not Restored from backup file

Just recently did a reset of my system, I restored all my saved setting from a saved back up. All went well except none of my device names were there in the attached devices page. Just the defaults appeared. Did another restore from the the back up config file just to be sure, same thing.

I believe all the previous firmwares did not have this problem.

Perhaps this ties into the 7 log entries bug.

Not the end of the world however I would have thought the back up would restore the custom names and icons in the web GUI.

  • Was the backup config file from the current version of FW or from a prior versoin?

      Good question, the back up config file was from the current firmware version. I set it up from scratch, saved a back up and reset again and loaded the back up. Did this twice to be sure before reporting it here.
