Backing Up groov
During backup, project components are saved to a file on your computer or a USB flash drive. You
should back up
groov frequently. There is no automatic backup.
To restore groov from the backup file, see “Restoring groov” on page 31 .
IMPORTANT: Your groov project files are not encrypted or masked in any way. This means that most of
the project information in them (except for the groov User passwords) can be read, including the following:
• SMTP account info (including password)
• User email accounts (does not include the groov User passwords, which are securely encrypted
before being stored)
• Device addresses
• Tag address information (PAC tag names, Modbus addresses, OPC node-id, etc.)
Opto 22 recommends that you secure your backup files using file- or disk-based encryption provided either
by the operating system or other software/hardware.
Also, be aware that if you send project files to Opto 22, our personnel will have access to the information
listed above.
Follow these steps to back up groov:
1. In the left navigation bar, choose System > Backup and Restore.
