If I do the upgrade to 4.2.2, Can I use a configuration saved from 4.1.8

Post by N7KLT »

Yes I am new to the forum so, I am sorry if I didn't find this topic if already posted elsewhere. I did look.

I have a Bridgecom SkyBridge Plus (old version NOT the new Max version) that I have had for a few years. It was down as it got corrupted and I couldn't get it back up and running until recently (it was down for over 14 months).

I got it back up and running and did the "upgrade" and update through the GUI. I have saved the current configuration also because I had to use an older version that I had downloaded and a saved configuration to get it working again.

I'm interested in doing the upgrade to 4.2.2 BUT with it being a different base OS, will I still be able to upload the current configuration save for all of the settings through the GUI?

I have seen comments about putting the config in a specific folder on the card somehow but, I'm not deep into code writing and don't want to mess it up.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated, Thank you!

Short version - yes.
Longer version, image onto a new card, you can always go back to the old card if you need to dig out some setting that did not come over.

Thank you for the answer!
I thought that was the case but didn't want to "assume" and mess everything up! :D
