2.2 Differences between archive, backup, and restore
2.2.1 What is an archive?
The term Archive describes the contents of a CF card. The archive is created under
Windows® XP by the CF card.
The CF card
 contains the complete "memory" of the industrial PC,
 contains all permanently saved pieces of information of the IPC components such as
– the operating system,
– software,
– data.
 For the industrial PC, the CF card is what the hard disk is for the engineering PC. There,
all data required for operation are stored.

2.2.2 What is a backup?
 A backup is created under Windows® CE.
 With a backup, individual IPC components are copied from the CF card to a USB stick.

2.2.3 What is a restore?
 Restore describes the process of restoring backup data from a
USB stick on the CF card.
 "Restore" is for instance used to
– transfer individual components from one industrial PC to another IPC,
– restore data in the event of a defect.
 Backups are restored under Windows® CE.

Note!
The archive of a CF card is basically different from a backup of an industrial PC.
The contents and the structure of archive and backup are different. This is why
an archive can, for instance, not be replaced by a backup.
