+The Z-Wave chip inside the black dongle maintains the master list of all the other Z-Wave devices that you have included into your Z-Wave network. Vera also maintains its own database with a list of devices, and Vera's database has a lot more detail, such as the name of the device, the room that it's in and so on. Vera continually syncs its database with the master list of devices in the Z-Wave dongle. This is why you can remove the dongle, carry it around to pair and unpair devices, and when you reconnect the dongle to Vera, Vera will show any new or removed devices. If you insert a new dongle in Vera, then all your devices will disappear since the new dongle doesn't have any devices paired to it and so Vera deletes the ones in its database.

 Starting with Luup version 1.0.880 and higher, Vera is able to backup not only Vera's database, but also the data stored in the dongle.&nbsp; Vera also has the ability to restore, or clone, this backup into another dongle.

 For example, if you receive a replacement dongle, you can restore a backup of your old dongle's data to the new dongle so you don't have to rebuild your network.
