Are local file Z-box backups able to be loaded onto another Z-Hub or are the backups locked to Z-Hub serial number? ---

No they are firmware version and Z-hub serial number specific. I was unable to backup one Z-Hub to another, could not upload file as it causes an error You can only restore a backup to device it was created on ---

There is a way to transfer configuration from one z-hub to another z-hub. It is available on the Fibaro ID login, services window. ![1000008958](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/zoozcommunity/original/1X/5a4970025d2f91c2111206632fb7f5d1e45953e2.png) Wonder why Z-box login webpage doesn’t???
