Procedures
10.1 Creating the SC Software Backup
An offline backup of the System Controller (SC) software should be made at the
following times:
„
After completing the initial installation and configuration
„
After making any change in the SC configuration
„
Before performing a software upgrade download (this is to be sure that an up-to-date
backup is indeed available, in the unlikely event of a problem occurring as the result of
the software upgrade)
„
After software upgrade is complete
The SC software backup procedures are performed on the Active SC board and do
not interrupt the operation of the Active SC board.

SC software supports 2 backup types:
1) Database Backup
Backs up only configuration database.
Works fast and produces small backup files, however it
cannot be restored if software installation is broken
or destroyed.
2) Full Backup
Backs up complete software installation, including
configuration database.
Works slow and produces large backup files, however it
is able to restore all software components.
