What is the Backup Plugin?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Backup plugin will literally backup your Indigo<\/a> directory (\/Library\/Application Support\/Indigo<\/a> 5), and store it in a time\/date stamped zip file, stored in ~\/Documents\/Indigo<\/a> Backup.<\/p>\n

Currently, this is a manual process.\u00c2\u00a0 Choose “Perform a Manual Backup” from the Plugin Menu, or use a Trigger Action to cause a backup to occur.\u00c2\u00a0 If there is interest, I may add a schedule feature to the plugin.<\/p>\n

To restore the data on a computer…<\/p>\n

\n
Unzip the backup file in a temporary directory<\/li>\n
Copy from the unzipped contents ~\/Documents\/Indigo<\/strong> Backup\/Library\/Application Support\/Indigo<\/strong> 5 to \u00c2\u00a0\/Library\/Application Support\/Indigo<\/strong> 5<\/li>\n
Install the Latest version of Indigo<\/strong>.\n
\n
If this is a different computer, you may have to install the USB drivers for your PowerLinc, or other devices (e.g. W8000RF32, etc).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
(Re-Installing Indigo<\/strong> helps ensure that the permissions in LaunchD, etc, are correctly restored… \u00c2\u00a0)<\/div>\n
Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a01) Open the “Add to Plugin Directory” folder, and take the Backup.indigoPlugin and place it into<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0\/Library\/Application Support\/Perceptive Automation\/Indigo<\/strong> 5\/Plugins<\/p>\n
2) Restart the Indigo<\/strong> 5 Server<\/p>\n
3) After the Indigo<\/strong> server restarts, the Plugin will be useable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Uninstall Instructions<\/h3>\n
To Uninstall, just remove the “Indigo<\/strong> Backup.Plugin” from the Plugins folder, and restart the Indigo<\/strong> Server.<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\n
The Manual Way to Backup (Indigo v4)<\/h3>\n
The easiest method to back up & uninstall your Indigo<\/strong> (version 4) configuration to another machine is as follows:<\/p>\n
\n
Backup the \/Library\/Application Support\/Perceptive Automation\/. \u00c2\u00a0The method I suggest is to use the built-in compression tools, by going to the \/Library\/Application Support folder, and right clicking on Perceptive Automation. \u00c2\u00a0Then choose Compress “Perceptive Automation”.\n
\n
One issue with this method, is that you need to back up and migrate any external AppleScripts that you use with your automation. \u00c2\u00a0I have created a folder in ~\/Username\/Documents\/Indigo<\/strong> Scripts \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 that has all of my external scripts… \u00c2\u00a0Make sure to also copy any AppleScripts, and place them in the same place on the new computer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
Take the zip file, and transfer it to the new computer, along with the latest Indigo<\/strong> Installer.<\/li>\n
decompress the Perceptive Automation folder into the \/Library\/Application Support folder on the new computer<\/li>\n
Install Indigo<\/strong> on the new computer.<\/li>\n
If you have an W800Rf32A, you will need to install the KeySpan Driver (or equivalent)… \u00c2\u00a0(This assumes you have the RS232 version)<\/strong><\/li>\n
If you use an 2413 or 2412, you will need the FTDI web site… \u00c2\u00a0The Indigo<\/strong> Online homepage has the web link (See http:\/\/www.perceptiveautomation.com\/indigo\/help\/html\/00200_interfaceSetup.html ), or click here<\/a>…\n
\n
The Latest version that I have seen is v2.2.14 from October 21, 2009.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
Start Indigo<\/strong> on the new machine, and File -> Open and choose your Indigo<\/strong> Database.<\/li>\n
Check your preferences, and make sure that everything is running correctly…<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
I have used this process multiple times, and have not run into any real issues…<\/p>\n
Uninstalling Indigo<\/h2>\n
Alternatively, to manually Uninstall Indigo<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
\n
Remove the Indigo<\/strong> Application from your Applications folder (eg. Indigo<\/strong> 3.app , Indigo<\/strong> 4.app)<\/li>\n
Remove the Indigo<\/strong> Folders from \/Library –> Application Support –> Perceptive Automation –> Indigo X (X being 2, 4 or 5)<\/strong><\/li>\n
Remove from \/System –> Library –> Extensions –> IndigoOverrides.kext<\/li>\n
Remove from the Preferences folder ( ~\/Library –> LaunchAgents –> com.perceptiveautomation.IndigoServer2.plist \u00c2\u00a0)<\/li>\n
Remove from the ~\/Library –> Preferences \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0Folder the following files:\n\n
Indigo<\/strong> Client Prefs.indiPref<\/li>\n
Indigo<\/strong> Client Settings.indiPref<\/li>\n
com.perceptiveautomation.indigo_client.plist<\/li>\n
