View Full Version : Rover Backup Issue

I was backing up an '09 job with Rover Version5, SP9.
All devices are Comm 5 Trane.
I backed up a couple successfully...or so I thought.
I went offline and tried to view a backed up Device and got the following:
"Rover Configuration File Selected: Version of RCF file is not supported or Plug-in is missing.
I know I'm behind on the SP's, but have not been able to obtain them.
Are these Devices beyond Rover Version5 even if I get the Plug-ins?
I saw there is a Version6 and 7 out.
If we could get Version7, would/could it be used on older jobs configured with older Rover Versions?
Any help on answering these questions and/or LEGALLY purchasing the latest Rover Software would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Go here for SP 10. That was the last one for Rover 5. You will also find the latest plug-ins as well

Versions 6 or 7 support USB interfaces.

What did you back up? I dont believe you can see anything offline except for mp580's.

I agree with scrooloose on this.

Thanks for all the replies.
I used the wrong word. I should have said "Saved" instead of Backup.
My intent is to Save all the Device Parameters in case any one goes bad.
This way, I'd be able to just download the RCF file instead of starting from scratch.
Another question: Do I have to copy every Devices Lon Bindings? Or will that be in the RCF also?
And finally...How do I determine which LNS Plug-In was used?
As always....TIA

The LNS plug-in is determined by the device that you are connecting to. The versions are all backward compatible.
