Updated Profilux 4 to latest firmware. Restored both settings and sensor data. While my normal probes were restored, my virtual probe Temperature 2 was not restored.

I have two heaters, one using a virtual probe.

My powerbar kept it's reference to Temperature 2, but there was no Temperature 2. I manually re-created the probe after some low-temperature alerts.

I'm all working. This is more a heads up for @d2mini and others using the virtual probe feature

Weird. Your virtual probe was active when you saved all your data before updating?
I don't have any virtual probes, currently running only one heater. Maybe @Marco@GHLUSA has an answer.

I backed up minutes before the update (settings and sensor data). The restore worked because temperature 1 was restored to my set temperature, but the temp 2 probe was not re-created.

Since you have to create virtual probes on the device (not GCC), the limitation or bug may lie there.
