It was an accident...
-
I went to edit the config of a Duet3/SBC printer via DWC, and accidently clicked delete instead.
Is there a way to export the running config to console? I could then save that to a text file and rebuild it from there. -

@BlueDust Check for config.g.bak. That would have been a backup created the last time you edited and saved the config.g file in DWC. You can copy it and rename it to config.g. Check it over first to see if it looks sane.

I didn't know the bak file was updated each time the config was saved... It was last modified early this month and thought I had changed something since then. But also didn't know the file is updated with the main config file.Thanks! I will review it and put more confidence in the bak going forward.
Fun, that 3 letter word with "u" in the middle.

Always a good idea to have a separate copy of your entire SD card elsewhere. Some say the SD stands for Sudden Death.
-
@BlueDust the .bak file will be the config before the most recent save. So if you only made a small change then that's a good start, if you made a huge change then much more tricky.

This is the printer I recently swapped out a duet2 for duet3. Still tweaking things and haven't gotten to the point of backing it up yet. But as I am close probably should have backed it up two weeks ago.
Thanks for the help!
