Long story short - I need a new hard time for my SBC that runs ZWaveJS-UI. I have a backup that is rsync’d to a synology but something got wonky with the file structure so I am just starting from scratch. I have ZWaveJS-UI running in docker. Since all the devices are saved on the stick, I should just be able to start the container and everything will work correct? I know ZWaveJS-UI has a backup but I fear it is also tainted with the file locations thing I am dealing with. What will I lose if I just spin up the container connected to my zwave stick?

#

Plus an export/import of my settings?

If you don't have your security keys, secure devices will need to be re-included. Otherwise, everything will need to be re-interviewed (battery manually, mains-powered automatically).

#

SmartStart QR codes and DSKs will also be missing.

Will the keys come over with the settings export/import?

#

Also, does starting the interview on battery devices so it happens when they check-in work?
