7.4.2 Backup
and
Restore
Introduction
Using WinCC flexible or the ProSave Service Tool, it is possible to backup and restore
projects, recipes and passwords.
If the service tool was installed with WinCC flexible, it can be opened on the configuration
computer with the command "SIMATIC > ProSave" in the "Start" menu.
ProSave is an executable program which can run without WinCC flexible. ProSave can, thus,
be run without a WinCC flexible license.
Requirements
•
The HMI device is connected to a configuration computer.
•
WinCC flexible or ProSave must have been installed on the configuration computer.
Notice
Close all open applications on the configuration computer before starting Backup or
Restore.
Backup
During the backup process, the project is transferred from the HMI device Flash memory to
the configuration computer.
There are two ways to make a backup copy:
•
Backup using standalone ProSave
•
Backup using WinCC flexible
Notice
Licenses on the HMI device are not saved in this case.
The procedure for the backup differs in terms of the operations performed on the
configuration computer.
