Wait a couple of minutes, and power down and disconnect all wires from your Pi
Replace the RaZberry board
Reconnect all wiring, and finally power up the Raspberry Pi
Again with Expert UI, restore from backup with network topology. In theory, it should work fine and write existing home id and devices list on the new controller.
Stop Z-way and restore HA configuration configjson-xxxx.json to /opt/z-way-server/automation/storage.
Reboot Raspberry

WARNINGS
The backup procedure does not not save your home automation settings, so this recipe won't work to move to a different Raspberry Pi. You could make a diskimage for that.

I currently test this procedure between RPI with razberry v4 to humming board razberry v5. I launch restore about 20 minutes, humming board work hard (z-way used 100% of CPU). How many times it's take ?
Edit : after 30min I stop it, it did not work. I test to pass razberry v4 to v5 on same RPI but same result... So for me this procedure did not work, for now I don't see any solution for passing to razberry v4 to v5
Sorry it did not work for you. I did ask the Zwave.me team to review this recipe, that I worked out from a short post of them. I didn't have the hardware, so I could not test myself.

I tried to move my configuration from Razberry on RasPi B to UZB1 on RasPi 2.

I got stuck at step 9 of the instruction from the first post. In my v2.0.1-rc25 installation, clicking the blue button does not result in any action. I could not find any information about "network topology information" in the online documents.
Edit1: It does not work with latest verion of Firefox, but does work with Chrome and Opera. Remaining question what is the network topology information? File ./storage/configjson.xxxx.json, or is it the .zbk backup file?
I have two nearly identical systems. One Raspberry B and one Raspberry 2 both with a Razberry Gen 5 board.
Making a backup on the Raspberry B and a restore on Raspberry 2 is working so far but all the devices are red in the routing matrix. The nodes are not working correctly. I am using RC34 release May 30th. Anybody any idea how to clone system A to system B?
I haven't made any progress on this in the absence of anyfeedback of the ZWave.me team. The ability to restore on a different system is rather crucial for a robust mission critical system.
Than it's better to take this option out of the software or better tell the user it's only for the same installation. Otherwise they make you believe a backup avoid you from any problems and in the emergeny case nothing will work. Not very promising I guess.
