Raylux 0.30.1: backup and restore is download and upload

Restoring a gateway configuration is a file upload now, and backups download as a recognisable file.

Restore takes a file

Restore used to be a paste box. An operator holding a backup had to open it in an editor, select all of it and paste — for a document that replaces the entire gateway configuration, with no way to tell a clipped paste from a complete one until afterwards.

Backup and Restore now takes the file itself: choose it, or drag it onto the page. Before you confirm, the gateway shows what the file actually contains — projects, providers, devices — so the wrong file is caught while it is still a file, not after a failed restore you already believed in.

A file that is not a gateway backup is refused by its contents, not its name.

Backups download as .rnbk

The contents are unchanged, so anything scripting the backup endpoint is unaffected. The extension is what the restore picker filters on, and what makes a backup recognisable in a Downloads folder six months later. Backups you already have still restore.

A configuration backup does not contain user accounts

The screen used to say user passwords were preserved from the running system. That was true of an older configuration format. On any current gateway, users and roles live beside the configuration rather than inside it, so a configuration backup has never contained them.

Nothing changed about the behaviour — what changed is that the product now says so, and no longer shows a "Users: 0" row that reads as a fact about your gateway. For a complete backup, copy the data directory.

Fixed

• The Download Backup button did nothing at all in some browsers, with no error anywhere.
