    Emergency Apex Replacement - help needed

    As you would expect I am out of town. Apex 2016 brain is dead (story for another time). Wife has new 2016 base unit. Need to talk her through replacing.

    Once it is on the network, is there a way to download my old program to it and make everything come back to life?

    Many thanks in advance.

    If you remembered to use the save configuration feature in apex local, then you can restore a backup. If not, you will need to reprogram from scratch.

    Thanks. How is there no way to download from fusion? If not, sort of loses the point of cloud right?

    No. Save load is local only and requires the apex to be functional before you save. If you want cloud backups, fusion probably wouldn't be free.

    When you save in Local, are you saving whats on Local or on Fusion?

    What is on local and what is on fusion is identical except for the tile layout.

    You can also adopt data which moves your reminders and tests and so forth to the new apex. That was a godsend.

    looking to save a backup of my apex 2016 current setup to be able to load onto a spare apex 2016 brain. Is it not possible to download the backup through fusion if you're system is still functioning properly?

    The configuration Load/Save feature is not in APEX Fusion. It is on the Misc page in APEX Local... there’s a button in the upper left for it.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.
