2.10 Data safety
To ensure the ability to restore critical data in case of control unit or
storage malfunctions, internal and external (off-site) backup copies of
all files that are critical to proper machine function must be created
regularly and kept in a secure environment.
To minimize the chance of data loss, it is recommended to protect the
system patition ( C: ) with the File Based Write Filter (FBWF) and use a
second partition for user data.
Extended system outage in case of data loss!
If backup copies of critical control unit data are not created regu-
larly and kept securely, the control unit configuration would have
to be set up from scratch in case of data loss.
n Pay attention to all instructions regarding data safety as given in
this and the other installation manuals provided by Power Automa-
tion.
