Reset Appliance Configuration But Keep Existing Version

Leon_Noble — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 08:40:28 GMT

I would like to reset the GAIA configuration on our appliance and keep the current version installed.

Doing a factory reset will restore the original version installed on the device, and then I have to not only apply the new configuraiotn but upgrade versions and HFAs.

I want to be able to apply a new configuration to the device and keep the existing version. Is there a way to do this without going down the factory reset path?

Are you familiar with the options that Blink provides?

as @Chris_Atkinson hinted, you can use a Blink re-imaging

Thanks Guys, never took a real look at the blink option. This is perfect.

Keep in mind as well, its way faster when you use blink image rather than regular one.
