Hi,

as mentioned, it would be a great thing if backups could be restored in (replacement) robots, that have a different serial number from the replaced one.

That would save a lot of time and frustration, as otherwise the whole configuration must be copied manually.

Thank you !🙂

This would also be helpful for my application, where I have multiple e-Series robots that need to be set up with the exact same configuration. If anybody knows of an alternative way to save a copy of the full system image (including all Settings as well as program/installation files, for that specific PolyScope version) that can be installed on another control box, please share!
