Vielen Dank für diese Info.
Wie Ihr hier überhaupt einen exzellenten Job macht. Ich besitze seit 1 Woche ein HC2, bin selbst Informatiker, aber ohne Eure Artikel sähe es mit der Bedienbarkeit der Anlage ziemlich mau aus. Hut ab!

Zum Thema:
Aktuell hab ich die 4.110 drauf. Ich bin der Beta-Version nicht abgeneigt, insbesondere weil ich sowieso noch in der Ausprobier-Phase stecke und meine Skripte zur Zeit eher Test-Charakter haben. Doch ich wüsste schon gerne, ob mit einem Beta-Update nach Eurer Erfahrung ein Verlust der bisherigen Konfigurationsdaten einhergehen KÖNNTE, schlimmstenfalls auch der Inklusionsdaten.

Und lässt sich die Maschine nach dem Ausprobieren auch wieder auf die Default-Firmware zurückgraden und die alten Backups wieder einspielen, falls nötig?

Besten Dank,
Andreas

Hi,

manch einer hat mit Betas schon sehr schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht, wo schlussendlich nur das Einsenden geholfen hat.
Sicherlich ist aber immer relevant, WIE das Update vorgenommen wird und ob vor Ungeduld zu früh das HC neu gestartet wird…

Backups lassen sic wieder einspielen.

Hat bei mir problemlos geklappt.
Die neue Menüführung ist gut gelungen.
