 # Device Settings
-Tasmota uses flash memory to store options and settings. New versions add (or remove) features that use various regions of flash memory. If you did not erase flash when you originally flashed your device, an updated version of Tasmota may be accessing areas with values left over from the old Tasmota or even the original factory firmware. This might cause unexpected and unwanted behavior or even major problems (constant reboots or reconnect). It is best to address this before upgrading across major versions of Tasmota.

+To avoid this use our decode-config tool to easily create and restore backups in Tasmota:
 
-1. Make a configuration backup using one of these two methods:
+## decode-config tool 
-   - Use `decode-config.py` from the Tasmota [`/tools/` folder](../tree/development/tools) to convert a .dmp backup to a readable form (JSON file):  
+* [decode-config.py](https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/blob/development/tools/decode-config.md) - installation instructions in Python for Windows or Linux
-     `decode-config.py -d <deviceIP> --backup-file Config-@f --backup-type json`
+* [decode-config.exe](https://github.com/Jason2866/Tasmota-decode-config/blob/master/bin/decode-config.exe) - Windows 64bit only executable. If using this replace `decode-config.py` with `decode-config.exe` in the instruction examples.
-     > @f will be replaced by that device's FriendlyName
-   - If you have a `.dmp` backup already, you can create a JSON extract from that file:  
-     `decode-config.py -f <dmpFile> --backup-file Config-@f --backup-type json`
-2. Perform a `Reset 6` (erases flash settings area but retains Wi-Fi and MQTT settings)
-3. Upgrade the firmware
-4. Restore configuration
-     `decode-config.py -d <deviceIP> --restore-file Config_@f`
 
-It is probably best not to restore the backup directly when doing a big leap between versions, since there may be some outdated settings in your configuration. There are often newer better alternatives, particularly since an upgrade is normally done to use new features. Configure the device manually referring to the [Commands article](Commands) and the settings (e.g., SetOptions, Rules, etc.) in the JSON file you created in step #1. You can paste the JSON to a [JSON parser](https://jsonformatter.org/json-parser) to make it easily readable. 
+#### 1. Make a configuration backup:
+* Use _decode-config.py_ from the Tasmota [`/tools/` folder](../tree/development/tools) to create a new backup straight from your device   
+
+    `decode-config.py -d <deviceIP> --backup-file Config-@f --backup-type json`
+
+   > @f will be replaced by that device's FriendlyName
+* Convert a previously made `.dmp` backup into a JSON file   
+  
+     `decode-config.py -f <dmp_filename> --backup-file Config-@f --backup-type json`
+#### 2. Perform a reset 
+`Reset 6`
+   
+> Erase flash settings area but retains Wi-Fi and MQTT settings
+#### 3. Upgrade the firmware via OTA or file upload
+#### 4. Restore configuration
+    decode-config.py -d <deviceIP> --restore-file <config-filename>
