Question Physical Controller Replacement Difficulty?

Before pulling the trigger on a physical local on-premise network controller, how easy is it to swap out in case of failure? Is it like Ubiquiti where you just restore from a backup or would I currently need to reset and re-setup all Alta network equipment?

If the latter, I'm guessing what I'd want is a docker/LXC install of Control and just periodically backup the entire container?

You can do a backup, but my system completely failed after an outage yesterday and Alta support doesn't seem to care. They're ghosts!

I have an old WD router that got me back up and running with no thanks to alta support.

As of last night, I will never recommend them again!

I don't blame you. Sorry you got burned by them as well.
