Request for developers who own ConBee or RaspBee (deCONZ based adapters) and are depending on zigpy-deconz to consider implementing Zigbee network backup and restore tools to zigpy-deconz (or zigpy-cli) supporting "Open ZigBee Coordinator Backup Format" as already supported by both zigpy-znp and bellows radio libraries:
FYI, this is already a popular upgrade and downgrade method among end-users in the ZHA community as seen in examples here:
PS: Also keep in mind that this Open ZigBee Coordinator Backup Format is also already in use by the Zigbee2MQTT (Z2M) project.
