Hello I’m in trouble. I couldn’t migrate Gladys Plus to a USB SSD (same hardware as @PierreGilles in his tutorial) I’m stuck on the web page « We are configuring your Gladys Assistant installation… » I put back my Gladys Plus SD card that had been working fine, but my id and password were no longer recognized. I formatted my SD card and followed the tutorial… I managed to restore a backup but: - I found an empty Z2M interface (my devices had disappeared) - I recovered my Gladys interface, the blocks in my dashboards were present, but none of them worked. I re-paired my devices in Z2M. They work in that interface, but not in Gladys! ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c96e52215561671aef2fb0ad1b4456034d9da692.png) In « Zigbee Discovery » and « Devices » I tried to clean up to remove duplicates: it doesn’t work; I get the message « An error occurred while saving » ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a7add0ec53d25cc9e7beeb354ff37cfac51b0618.png) I also tried to save the devices I had just added: same message: « An error occurred while saving » To be sure, to check if I was properly connected to the server, I attempted a backup, and nothing happens — it stays at 0% Can you help me recover my Gladys Plus instance on microSD or, better, on a USB SSD? Thanks ---

Hi @Isage ! > [@Isage](#): > > I formatted my SD card and followed the tutorial… I managed to restore a backup but: > > - I got a blank Z2M interface (my devices had disappeared) > - I got my Gladys interface, the blocks in my dashboards were present, but none of them were working. This part is « normal », the Zigbee2mqtt integration doesn’t yet handle restoring to another instance, but it’s a development in progress 🙂 If you want to follow the development, it’s here: > [@Sauvegarde de la db de zigbee2mqtt](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/sauvegarde-de-la-db-de-zigbee2mqtt/7237/19?u=pierre-gilles): > > En théorie : le container z2m n’existe pas si aucune information n’est stockée en DB : création du container avec des valeurs générées par l’image, puis lecture de ces valeurs pour sauvegarde en DB si les valeurs sont en DB : création du container avec les valeurs stockées si le container z2m existe sauvegarde en DB (override si les variables existent déjà) La PR est pour l’instant uniquement sur mon espace perso j’en ai profité pour modifier quelques lourdeurs dans les tests, et que… In practice, currently after a restore you have to redo the entire Zigbee2mqtt configuration, because the Zigbee2mqtt security key does not exist on the new instance. I would recommend deleting your Zigbee devices in Gladys and recreating them. I know it’s not pleasant to do, but as long as the Zigbee2mqtt integration doesn’t handle it we have no choice; it doesn’t really have anything to do with Gladys Plus 🙂 ---

Hi @PierreGilles While logged into ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/optimized/2X/8/83664d1a52f0d92156453309ab494a130955d088_2_690x54.png) The problem is that I can’t delete my devices. I click on « Delete », it spins, and my device reappears. Just in case, I removed the devices that I had re-added in the Zigbee2MQTT interface. ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/8/84d626b642cc3cb04ea3276431a1a6608158d2e9.png) I then returned to Gladys Plus and this is the view that appeared!? ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b3a6f8bdcfe181c03cc879674f3dfb05bf22602e.png) I don’t understand anything anymore. I’ve been struggling for fifteen days! Isn’t there a problem accessing the Gladys server, which could perhaps explain why I get stuck on the web page « We are configuring your Gladys Assistant installation… » when I try to migrate to an SSD? ---

As Pierre-Gilles mentioned several times, that’s normal. When deleting devices, Gladys removes all states from the database and this can be time-consuming and blocking. You have to wait and be patient. Pierre-Gillles made changes so that it no longer blocks. ---

> [@Isage](#): > > Is there not an access problem to the Gladys server, which might perhaps explain why I get stuck on the web page « We are configuring your Gladys Assistant installation… » when I try to migrate to an SSD? I confirm what @Tlse-vins said, this is a current limitation of Gladys. When you delete a device, Gladys must delete all the states of that device. However, if you have many states (probably your case), and your disk is not very fast (as is the case with a micro-SD), this deletion can be long, and is currently blocking, which makes Gladys unavailable during the deletion. This is a real problem that I started to fix in Gladys Assistant v4.10.2 by improving the deletion of states, but only for the « Yes, keep states » button, not yet for the « Delete » button of a device. (See =\> [Gladys Assistant v4.10.2 est disponible avec des corrections de performances et un bouton nettoyage de la base!](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/gladys-assistant-v4-10-2-est-disponible-avec-des-corrections-de-performances-et-un-bouton-nettoyage-de-la-base/7555?u=pierre-gilles) ) When you delete a device, in your case it’s better to wait, and it can be long on slow disks… Sorry for the bad experience you’re having, you are unfortunately hitting several « known » limitations of Gladys in a row, I can imagine your frustration! ---

For your information @Isage, I worked all morning on the non-blocking deletion of states to avoid this kind of situation in the future where the user doesn’t really understand what’s happening 🙂 In the interface, instead of blocking Gladys, the user will see this: ![Screenshot 2022-10-14 at 12.04.27](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/7/71f3b2bb41bc2cb5d02f3eb8c179e5ff29c62105.jpeg) ---
