10.4 Back up the system
When do I need this?
We recommend performing a backup:
• Before installing new RobotWare.
• Before making any major changes to instructions or parameters to make it
possible to return to the previous settings.
• After making any major changes to instructions or parameters and testing
the new settings to retain the new successful settings.
When is backup possible?
A backup of a system can be performed during program execution, with a few
limitations:
• Start program, load program, load module, close program, and erase module
can not be done during backup in executing state. The RAPID instructions
Load
and
StartLoad
can, however, be used.
• Do not create backups while performing critical or sensitive robot movements.
This may affect the accuracy and performance of the movement. To make
sure that no backup is requested while in critical areas, use a system input
with the action value
Disable Backup
.
The system input signal can be set from RAPID for the parts of the code that are
critical for disturbances or remove the setting otherwise. For more information,
see
Technical reference manual - System parameters .
Note
Making a backup during production can interfere with the RAPID execution.
BACKUP directory
A local default backup directory, BACKUP, is automatically created by the system.
We recommend using this directory for saving the backups. Such backups are not
copied to the directory HOME in following backups.
Never change the name of the BACKUP directory.
Also, never change the name of the actual backup to BACKUP, since this would
cause interference with the name of the directory.
A default path can be created to any location on the network where the backup
should be stored.
Back up the system
This section describes how to backup the current system.
Note
While the backup is in process background tasks continue to execute.
1 On the start screen, tap Settings , and then Backup & Recovery .
