Please note, that Home Snapshots must not be understood and used as partial snapshots, used to recall selected system parameters to parts of a system. Home Snapshots always contain a complete configuration of the entire system, including stream routing and system parameter settings for all devices, which have been online while saving the snapshot. If a Home Snapshot is recalled, all devices being online and part the snapshot will receive a status update. 

Loading a snapshot can negatively impact your entire system, especially if you only want to restore some devices of the system.

The "Snapshots" page lists all available snapshots. These can be used to make a backup of the complete configuration. For example, to provide a level of undo while you are first setting up the devices and their streaming.

For each existing snapshot, you will see its label and timestamp (showing when the snapshot was last updated).

Snapshots should be loaded with caution as they store and recall the complete configuration of all devices and their stream routing.
