Hi guys

I am having an issue with changing the parameter for Device.DeviceInfo.VendorConfigFile.1.UseForBackupRestore

it is always set to false and can not add a value to it via the yml files.

Im running on an ubuntu 18.04 and just need to get this fixed.

thanks in advance

Your statement doesn’t make sense. Device.DeviceInfo.VendorConfigFile.1.UseForBackupRestore is part of the TR-181 spec, i.e. this is something changed/supported by the device. Not sure what YML files have to do with this.
