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.

Re: RBR852 - Device Names Not Restored from backup file
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.

Ok. Something I would get in contact with NG support about and let them know. Reference this forum thread as well.

I am sure they will see this thread and make a note of it for the engineering team. Thanks

Re: RBR852 - Device Names Not Restored from backup file
I would open a support ticket so it makes someone review. We have no idea if it's seen of if it's taken to task so the best way to ensure NG gets this is to open a support ticket. Or send one or both moderators a PM.
Thank you.
