Backing Up Tools to a USB Disk
The USB disk you use for backup must have at least 600 KB of free space in order to store all
tools and Initialization parameters on a SmartPAC 2. USB disks are available in a wide range
of capacities, and you should choose a device that will allow you to store backup information
for all your SmartPAC 2s. A USB disk that should meet most needs is available from Wintriss
(part no. 9679401).
Backup files are written to folders named “Backupnnnnnnnn,” where nnnnnnnn is the serial
number of the SmartPAC 2. Use of the serial number in the folder name allows SmartPAC 2–
and you–to identify the backup information pertaining to a particular control. Within folders,
there are at least two files, one for tool backups, named “nnnnnnnn-Tool,” the other for
Initialization backups, named “nnnnnnnn-Init.” Again, nnnnnnnn is the SmartPAC 2 serial
number.
When two or more backups have been performed on the same SmartPAC 2, two additional
files are maintained in the backup folder, named “nnnnnnnn-Tool.old” and “nnnnnnnn-
Init.old.” These files contain the next-most-recent tool and Initialization backups of the
SmartPAC 2 with the specified serial number.
To back up tools on a SmartPAC 2, do the following:
1.
Make sure a USB disk with the necessary free space is installed in the USB connector in
the lower left corner of the SmartPAC 2 board (component J121 in Figure 2-7, page 2-13).
2.
Select the BACKUP/RESTORE item on the Main Initialization Menu. The Backup/
Restore Control Menu displays with the message

appearing briefly at the top of the screen, followed by a message displaying the number of

You can view the date and time of the last backup by pressing the F4 (Date Last Backup)
function key. The date and time display at the bottom of the screen.
