    PI Data Archive Installation Wizard should provide an option to restore from a backup or copy current configuration from another PI Server

    As we enter 2020, the process of moving/restoring the PI Data Archive hasn't changed since its inception. Typical procedure to move a PI Data Archive on a new server is to install same version of software and then perform backup/restore of the old...

    Allow PI Adapter for MQTT to log the raw json payload received from the broker
