hub3 reload of import failed

[Mpav9]

hi - just received a new hub3 to replace a faulty one.

I checked that the software version on both hubs exactly matched ... so I backed up the config on the old hub3 (admin Backup configuration settings), but when I try to restore that config to the new hub3 (using Reload configuration settings option of admin menu) I just get an error "IMPORT FAILED: File not recognised"....

As I'd spent time over last couple of years setting up old hub3 with guest network, and other config changes to the rules, I'd rather not have to start again.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong - thanks

I believe the backup will only work with the same HUB.

yes - it appears to be that way... thanks

pretty poor design though

That's cheap rented kit for you!

Yep. In my experience, VM networking equipment is hands down the worst equipment I've ever come across in approx 30 years of dealing with networks.
