Backing up configuration data
Introduction
The configuration data of the PCS 7 operator station is automatically backed up when a
multiproject is archived. A separate backup is not required.
Backing up OS configuration data
Configuration data for the PCS 7 operator station are saved by default in the following
folder: ...\Siemens\WinCC\WinCCProjects.
To back up data, compress the project paths in this folder and save them on a suitable medium
(such as a CD).
Backing up OS PC data
The OS configuration data are located on the PCS 7 engineering station. You therefore back
up OS server PCs or OS client PCs with an image. You can find information on this in the
section "Backing Up Data by Generating an Image File (Page 31)".
