Configuration Backup Problem (solved in comments)

Hi everyone,
I’m new to Onefinity and am just getting acquainted with my Woodworker Pro. I’m a bit confused about the Config Backup function.

I tried to use this function from the touch screen assuming it would backup the config to the internal SD card but I got an error message.

So I tried backing up the config via my laptop (Windows 10 + Microsoft Edge) linked over WiFi and I get the same error message.

Strange thing is, when using the laptop, a ZIP file is created in the laptop’s download folder.

I don’t know if the newly created zip file has a valid config inside it or not.

Anyone else experience this?

Thanks,
Mike

Problem solved!

First, here are a few things that Onefinity Support told me about the CONFIGURATION BACKUP command.

  1. It will not backup to a flash drive - it only works from a networked computer.

  2. Beginning with software version 1.4.1 the backup file it creates is in ZIP format and is stored on the networked computer.

  3. Inside the ZIP file will be a file in .JSON format which is the config file.

  4. Also inside the ZIP file will be a separate backup file of your MACROS if you have any. My file has a .NGC extension.

Why I got the error message:

I had no macros to back up! During my testing, once I created a simple macro and assigned it to the macro 1 button, everything went as expected with no error message.

Just to be clear, you don’t have to create a macro to do a config backup. It will still save a ZIP file that includes your configuration. But it will complain that there was no Macro file by showing the error message I posted above.
