4.1.4 Backup
Industrial PCs do not have hard disks as data memories. The operating system is saved on
memory chips. Depending on the series, this memory chip can either be permanently inte-
grated or implemented using a memory card.
The following Industrial PC series use a
Compact Flash card (CF card) as storage medium:
 EL 1800 - EL 9800,
 CS 5800 - CS 9800,
 CPC 2800.
The Compact Flash card is the "memory" of the IPC. Without this CF card, the IPC cannot
run.
»IPC Backup & Restore« serves to copy, duplicate, and archive these cards. To transfer user-
specific data from the Industrial PC to an Engineering PC and vice versa, USB flash drives
can be used.
The HMI series EL100 PLC uses an SD card for data exchange.
4.1.4.1 »IPC Backup & Restore«
»IPC Backup & Restore« saves the data bases of the Industrial PCs:
 Compact Flash cards at the Engineering-PC:
– Duplicating,
– archiving,
– restoring.
 USB flash drive:
– Prepare for backup and restore at the IPC,
– for creating backups
– use for restoring backups,
– use for updating the runtime software.
