Migrating to from 2.05.1 to 3.0 need help

You've asked twice if you can downgrade... the solid answer is YES.
The very best way is to be sure you have a backup of your entire /sys directory. All of it. (Also the macro directory, just in case).
To backout, the high-level idea is:
- Restore the /sys directory.
- Follow documentation to load firmware (depending on board, load main board, WiFi, etc)
- Follow documentation to load correct (your past) Duet Web Control
That's it. By restoring /sys, you should have both the binary that will get loaded into the actual board, and all your config and bed and so forth, all your "dot g" files.
You will be right back where you started.

Actually, the VERY best way is to copy the SD card before you start the upgrade.....

@Danal that I have done.

Good! Then backout is even more certain. If needed, insert that card, and issue commands to load firmware onto boards. That's it.

Sorry Danal, but for the downgrade you also need an additional bin witch is not pressent on the old card.
That was the reason why I have pointed to the guide..@Alucardi
Anyway.
Believing in yourself (or in us), we will get the update done....Edit:
@Danal
Downgrade might get a challege if someone has overlooked that....
Out of the guide:
Also copy file iap4e.bin (for Duet WiFi/Ethernet) or iap4s.bin (for Duet Maestro) into /sys -
@DIY-O-Sphere il see if I can get it done tonight or tomorrow.

@Alucardi
Just one last info. In case you have overlooked that....
If you would like to upgrade directly from RRF2 to a higher version than 3.01-RC3, you must upgrade to the 3.0 release first. -
@DIY-O-Sphere just going to 3.0. Not gonna bother with rc releases atm. I just want to have the printer up to speed with 3.0.

IMHO, that's a mistake. You might as well stick with 2.x, if you are not going to 3.0 RC4 or RC5. There really has been that much change since 3.0.

@Danal I want to be able to update if there is a upgrade that I want. Going to 3.0 saves me the trouble next time I want an upgrade.

@Alucardi
We have updated a buddys WIFI in the bginning of the year. Out of mind I can't remember witch version exactly . But I think one of the first RC's.
He is currently printing 24/7 for the Covid aid without issues.
I can ask for the version in the evening...Edit:
It's the 3.0 stable version -

Understood. My phrasing was poor. I was trying to encourage RC4 or 5.
