===<big>Backup</big>===
 
<big>With your hub now protected, you may set the time for when database maintenance and backup to the cloud will occur.</big>
 
 
 
<big>'''NOTE:''' Backup includes the hub database only. It does not backup files you have uploaded to your hub with File Manager. Please be sure you backup these files manually.</big>
 
 
 
#<big>Set the desired time for the database maintenance and backup.</big>[[File:Set cloud backup time and frequency.png|none|thumb|600x600px|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/c/c2/Set_cloud_backup_time_and_frequency.png |alt=From the Backup and Restore settings page, you can set the time when backup and database cleanup should occur, and you can set the frequency for backup to occur.]]

===<big>Migrate</big>===
 
<big>You can migrate a cloud backup to a new hub, saving hours of time rebuilding rules and going through the lengthy process of excluding and including your Z-Wave devices.</big>
 
 
 
<big><span style="color: red;;">'''IMPORTANT!'''</span> If you receive a warranty replacement hub, your existing Hub Protect subscription from the defective hub will be automatically transferred to the new hub. In all other cases, your Hub Protect subscription is <span style="color: red;;">'''non-transferable'''</span> and will remain with the original hub. If you Migrate your database from a hub that is subscribed to Hub Protect, to one that is not covered by a Hub Protect subscription, you may add a new Hub Protect subscription to that hub to use cloud backups and extend the warranty. Hub Protect subscriptions may be canceled any time and will remain active until the end of the subscription period.</big>
 
 
 
#<big>Save a new cloud backup.</big>
 
#*<big>'''NOTE''': Make sure your existing hub is online and connected to the Hubitat cloud service.</big>
 
#*'''<big>If you are ''migrating from'' a Model C-5 hub, you should perform a [[Z-Wave Details|Z-Wave Repair]] <u>before</u> uploading the cloud backup that will be used to migrate.</big>'''
 
#*<big>If you have turned on '''[[Lock Code Manager#Lock code encryption|Enabled lockCode encryption]]''' in the lock driver settings, you should turn it '''OFF''' prior to saving the backup for migration to the new hub. The encryption key cannot be transferred to another hub, thus [[Lock Code Manager]] will no longer be able to read encrypted lock codes. You can turn on '''Enable lockCode encryption''' on the new hub once the migration has completed.</big>
 
#**<big>'''Hubs prior to Model C-7'''</big>
 
#***<big>Hubs shipped with the '''ZWave.Me adapter''' will work with Z-Wave radio migration. Model C-4 or C-5 hubs utilizing '''other''' '''external Z-Wave adapters''' <u>do not support Z-Wave radio migration</u>.</big>[[File:ZWave.me_dongle.png|thumb|300x300px|none|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/d/d0/ZWave.me_dongle.png |alt=This is a z-wave.me Z-Wave adapter. It is compatible with Z-Wave device migration for hubs shipped to Australia, and New Zealand|<big>'''Z-Wave.me adapter'''</big>]][[File:Z-Wave Repair C-5 before migration.png|none|thumb|600x600px|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/f/fe/Z-Wave_Repair_C-5_before_migration.png |alt=If you are migrating from a Model C-5 hub with a Z-Wave radio that is compatible with Z-Wave device migration, please run a Z-Wave repair before attempting to migrate the Z-Wave radio to your new hub. ]][[File:Backup to cloud now.png|none|thumb|600x600px|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/c/c1/Backup_to_cloud_now.png |alt=On the Backup and Restore settings page, press the backup button on the "Cloud Backup" tab to perform a manual backup to the Hubbitat cloud server.]]
 
#<big>If you have not already [[Registration and setup|registered]] the new hub, you'll need to complete that before proceeding.</big>[[File:Register new hub before a cloud migration.png|none|thumb|600x600px|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/5/5e/Register_new_hub_before_a_cloud_migration.png |alt=If you have not already registered your new hub, please do so before proceeding.]]
 
#<big>Once you have completed registration of the new hub, please [[Settings|reboot]] it before continuing to the next step.</big>
 
#<big>When your new hub has completed the boot sequence and is online, select '''Settings''' from the sidebar and press the '''Backup and Restore''' card.</big>[[File:Hub migration to new hub.png|none|thumb|600x600px|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/4/45/Hub_migration_to_new_hub.png |alt=When your new hub has been registered and you have rebooted, press the "Backup and Restore" card on the settings page of your hub.]]
 
#<big>Select the '''Cloud Backup''' tab and press the '''Migrate''' button for the most recent cloud backup of the hub you are '''''migrating from.'''''</big>[[File:Migrate Cloud Backup v2.png|none|thumb|600x600px|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/5/52/Migrate_Cloud_Backup_v2.png |alt=Select the "Cloud Backup" tab and choose the most recent cloud backup of the hub your are migrating "from"]]
 
#<big>When prompted check the option to '''Migrate Z-Wave Radio''' (recommended), if you would like to transfer your Z-Wave devices from the old hub without the need to manually exclude and join each device again on the new hub.</big>
 
#*<big>'''<span style="color: red;;">IMPORTANT!</span>''' When selecting the Migrate Z-Wave Radio option, you should do the following additional steps.</big>
 
#*#<big>If you are '''''migrating from''''' a '''Model C-5 hub''', you should perform a [[Z-Wave Details|Z-Wave Repair]] '''<u>before</u>''' uploading the cloud backup. If you did not do this, repeat '''Migrate Step 1''' above and then continue from '''Step 5'''.</big>
 
#*#<big>[[Z-Wave Manual#Z-Wave Radio Power|'''Disable the Z-Wave radio''']] of the hub you are '''''migrating from'''.''</big>
 
#*#<big>'''[[Settings|Shut down]]''' the hub you are '''''migrating from''''' before you press the '''Migrate''' button. When the migration to the new hub is complete, you may again start up the hub you migrated from, but the '''Z-Wave radio should remain disable.'''</big>[[File:Migrate Z-Wave Radio option v2.png|none|thumb|600x600px|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/0/0a/Migrate_Z-Wave_Radio_option_v2.png |alt=If you would like to also migrate the Z-Wave radio from your compatible hub, select the "Migrate Z-Wave Radio" checkbox in the pop-up window that appears over top of the hub user interface, then press the "Migrate" button in that window.]]
 
#<big>Allow the database migration process to complete.</big>
 
#*<big>'''<span style="color: red;;">IMPORTANT!</span> Hub Protect''' subscriptions are '''<span style="color: red;;">non-transferable</span>'''. If you migrate your '''cloud backup''' to a new hub, you will need to buy a separate Hub Protect subscription to enjoy the cloud backup and extended warranty on the new hub.</big>[[File:Hub restoring backup v2.png|none|thumb|600x600px|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/1/19/Hub_restoring_backup_v2.png |alt=Please wait while your hub restores from the backup. Your new hub will reboot when the process is complete.]]
 
#<big>When the process has completed, the location name will be set to '''[''Your old hub name''] (new)'''.</big>
 
#<big>Press the Hubitat Elevation logo to navigate to the home screen.</big>[[File:Web Interface Nav 1.png|none|thumb|600x600px|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/1/19/Web_Interface_Nav_1.png |alt=Press the Hubbitat Elevation logo at the top-left of your hub user interface]]
 
#<big>Select '''Location and Modes''', then update the name of your new hub.</big>[[File:Location and Modes card 2.2.6 and later.png|none|thumb|600x600px|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/1/16/Location_and_Modes_card_2.2.6_and_later.png |alt=Select the "Location and Modes" card to update the name of your new hub]][[File:Rename hub after migration.png|none|thumb|600x600px|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/5/50/Rename_hub_after_migration.png |alt=The hub you migrated "to" will have the name of the old hub, with "New" in parenthesis. You will likely want to change this name to better identify the new hub by name or location.]]
 
#<big>Zigbee devices are contained within the hub database and will be retained when you migrate, but it will be necessary to re-join devices to the new Zigbee radio by manually reseting them. Select '''Discover Devices''' from the [[Home|Home page]]. You '''DO NOT''' need to delete the device from the hub. The existing device will be discovered with the response, '''Found Previously Joined Devices'''. The device should resume normal operation and all of your existing rules will be intact.</big>[[File:Found Previously Joined Devices.png|none|thumb|550x550px|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/f/f0/Found_Previously_Joined_Devices.png|alt=When a previously joined Zigbee device has been reset and discovered by the new hub, the hub will display the name of the device with the message, "Found Previously Joined Device".]]
