Recover and repair from Backup

[ayushjain4484]

HI,

I am running zigbee2mqtt on my raspberry pi 3 B+,
I recently had issue with with rasbian OS.
I reinstall Os on New card and then installed zigbee2mqtt, previously working setup is with my on old card.
just wanted to know is there any way i can recreate my previous network without repairing all devices again as size of my network was very large and are all located in remote locations which are hard to get access to repair.

Thanks in advance.

Copy zigbee2mqtt/data -directory (and it's contents) from old SD-card to new card and your configuration (MQTT settings, network keys etc) and devices database should be working after you start Z2M.

Thanks alot brother, its working now :)

I tried coping all file to data dir (configuration.yaml database.db log state.json), had permission issue but after granting permissions to these file its worked.

I'm having trouble restoring a backup using this method and I'm wondering if the permissions issue you described could be the cause.

I've restored the database.db and my configuration.yaml has the same network key, on boot of zigbee2mqtt I can see the devices added, however when I try to toggle one of the light switches I get error 'no network route' (205)
