What would be the easiest way to do that? I know dropbox. But as far as copying and pasting everything??

Why not just save the config to your computer under the configuration tab? If i could access it here I would take a snapshot of it but I can't access it right now. Page 78 of the manual....

Go into each program/outlet in "advanced" mode and copy it. Then paste it into notepad. You'll have to copy 8-10 things but will be a nice reference to have all in one spot.

I was looking for an easier way than that. But yeah, that's probably what I will end up doing.

That .bin file has the entire device configuration inside it. It's cryptic because of the language the apex is written in. That should be everything you need.

I just did a backup of yours and have 36 lines of code. I'm looking on their support site for code backups.

Prior to version 4.02 you can’t save your program. Actually you can
but it's through a roundabout method. If you go to the XML menu
from the web interface and select "XML Program" you will get an
XML dump of all your program statements. Another method is via
telnet. Log in and issue the ‘l’ command for ‘list’. Select and copy
this to either Notepad or Word and save it on your local hard
drive. You will need it at some point. Regarding your configuration
information (network setup, feed intervals, etc.), there's no such
dump. The best thing to do is to use a combination of screen prints
from your PC and writing down in a log someplace the configurations noted only in the display module.
Beginning with release 4.02 the ability to save your program and configuration information has been added. There
is a new menu item on the Configuration page called Load/Save. The configuration is saved as a file called
“apexcfg.bin”. If you want a different name, rename it after saving.Page 111
To reload your configuration, check the appropriate boxes indicating what you want to reload, enter or browse to
the filename and press “Restore Configuration”. There is no message indicating completion but the base module
will restart. Depending on what you reloaded, you may need to exit the browser and go back in to see your
restored program and configuration.

haha... I just went and made full backups for both of you guys, Ryan and Chris. I can email them to you. I have the program.xml, apexcfg.bin, and outlog.xml files zipped.
