Backup and Restore
The Backup command allows you to make a full backup of a system so that you can Restore it after.
You can access the Backup function via the LCD in Shortcuts > Backup . The Backup functions will
make a copy of both the application software and the configuration information for that version of the
application in a single back up file. This includes controller-specific information such at IP addresses,
user names and passwords.
A
Scheduled Action can be configured to automatically back up the controller to a USB drive at config -
urable intervals. This can be configured in Controller > Advanced Functions > Advanced Functions
> Scheduler .
If you make a Backup of the factory default settings, then you can report the factory defaults If you make
a backup of the fully commissioned working system then you can restore the system to that state.
The
Restore functions allows you to take an existing backup file and restore the contents of that file to
the system. All existing application software and configuration information will be deleted and replace
by the contents of the backup file. You can access the Restore function from the LCD in the Shortcuts
> Restore .
Backup and Restore are meant to be use to recover from server errors. If a controller was damaged
and needed to be replaced you could use the backup file to restore a new controller to the same settings
as the previous controller.
