Introduction
Using an archive
2.3
Using an archive
You can restore the archive of a CF card on your engineering PC on a new Compact
Flash card.
Tip!
How to carry out a backup or restore under Windows® CE on the industrial PC is
described in the chapter "Backup and Restore" of the software manual for the
industrial PC.
Archiving requires that the engineering PC is equipped with a card reader.
When archiving a CF card, the whole CF card contents will be backed up on your hard
disk.
– The backed up archive can be restored on another CF card later.
– An industrial PC can be booted with a restored CF card. After inserting the CF card,
the IPC can be started directly.
2.3.1
Archiving a CF card
If all data bases of the CF card of an industrial PC are to be backed up on the engineering
PC, a card reader must be connected to the engineering PC.
For more information on archiving a CF card, please see:
Note!
Observe the differences between the storage media when restoring archives!
• A restore only restores configuration-dependent software components.
• During the restore, the whole contents of the Compact Flash card are
restored.
Note!
For completely restoring a software version, the CF card must be archived. When
the CF card is archived, all CF card data are backed up. Archiving therefore
requires enough memory space on the CF card.
