Backup of User Data
Backup of User Data
Prerequisites
To create a backup of the system’s user data, you will need:
·
A PC or laptop. We recommend using a Microsoft Windows operating system, but any other OS with the
necessary client software (FTP, telnet, etc.) will do.
·
A network connection to the Lawo system network (Ethernet). Remember to setup an unused IP address
when connecting the PC to the network.
·
Either mxGUI or an FTP client.
Backup using mxUpdater (included with mxGUI)
From Version 5.8.2 software onwards, the mxUpdater utility can be used to backup and restore all user data on
the data CF card. Note that you must have the mxGUI shared folders configured to use this method.
·
Start mxGUI and at the launch window select mxUpdater . The program opens.
·
Under "1 - Select Remote System", enter the IP address of the primary control system and click on
Connect . After a successful connection, you will see some information about the system.
·
Under "2 - Backup Data", select Backup . Enter a file name and then start the backup by clicking on
Save .
·
Once the backup is complete, you will see the line DETAIL: Backup operation done in the "Log" area.
The backup file is stored on the mxgui computer in the mxgui_config_share -> mxupdater -> backup
folder:
For more details, please see the mxUpdater topic in the mxGUI chapter of your Operators Manual.
Backup using an FTP Client
This method can be used to backup user data from a system running any software version.
·
Start your favourite FTP application. FileZilla is included in the Lawo software update bundle.
·
IMPORTANT : please make sure that the file transfer type is set to binary in your FTP application. If this
is accidentally set to ASCII, or if the auto detection fails, then production data will be destroyed.
·
Open an FTP connection to the IP address of the primary control system:
o
Host = the IP address of the primary control system
o
Username = root
o
Password = hong
·
Make a backup of all the contents of the /data partition (which can be found under /data or /media/sdb1/
in the remote file system). Save the data to a local folder on your PC.
