RN104 Config backup and restore

RN104 Config backup and restore

Is it possible to restore the email settings from a config backup of one RN104 to another, different, RN104? The details seem to be held in msmtprc in the /etc folder of the Config zip file and I'd like to get the details from an old config backup as I can't recreate them from scratch via the Settings | Alerts | Email Server settings.

You should be able to remove all the other files from the zip, and then restore the modified zip.

 

But it is odd that you can't just recreate the config you need.  Can you explain more on what's going on there?
