I had some power outages in the area. The Apex was offline so I had my wife reboot the whole system, EB8 included. It booted back up and my lights were going crazy and the unit was still offline.

I get home and check the system and it has lost its program 100%. It has basically went back to the factory program that it was shipped with.

I am wondering if there is ANY method to try recover the program or if I need to just start over. If I have to start over, I am just going to upgrade firmware first and program via Fusion... My spare Apex is already on the new firmware but hadn't been programmed yet.
 
Have you recently save your config (made a backup)?

If not, Neptune would probably be your only hope. :(

If you're tied into Reeftronics, Russ might have a data backup perhaps?

I try really hard to be in the practice of saving the config every time I make changes.
 
My backup was older than the one from Russ at Reeftronics. He had the XML but it was from a long time ago. Being an IT guy I should have known to take a backup more often. My bad I guess...

From Neptune:

Hi Curtis,

Thank you for your inquiry. If you did not back up the programing there is no way to recover information from a factory reset or corrupted Apex system.

Please let us know if you have any other questions, or need any additional clarification.

Thank you,

So not a big deal... It was my fault for not having a backup. It's all good. Now I'll move to Fusion and get that set up. Blessing in disguise maybe...lol
