Restore settings from .@backup_config

[crowstone]

Hello,

I had to reset my TS-412 after the a firmware update (to 4.1.1 build 20141003). Unfortunately I don't have a backup of my settings (as .bin file).
Is it possible to restore the settings with the files in the .@backup_config directory?

Thanks,
matthias

Code: Select all

cd /
tar xvfz $(dirname $(getcfg -f /etc/config/smb.conf Public path))/.@backup_config/0_$(date +%Y%m%d --date="last wednesday")_0304.tar.gz

Thanks Patrick,
that sounds pretty easy. Do I have to repeat this step for each file or does it restore all settings? I'm not that linux professional to understand if the getcfg+smb.conf part only restores the SMB settings or directs to the config folder, sorry.

I thought you wanted to restore "all" your settings. The command I provided restores all of your settings from "last wednesday".

You'll probably need to restart the NAS to pick up the changes.

Yes Patrick,
that's exactly what I need, I was just wondering about that smb.conf included in the command.

Thank you.

I had to ask Samba in order to "harvest" the location of your ".@backup_config" directory from the NAS, as you didn't think to provide this useful information when asking how to restore your settings from ".@backup_config".
