Differences between archive, backup and restore
9.2 Differences between archive, backup and restore
Archive
An "Archive" is created under Windows® XP using »IPC Backup & Restore« from the CF card.
The term "Archive" defines the contents of a Compact Flash card.
The Compact Flash card...
 ...contains the complete "memory" of the Industrial PC,
 ...contains all permanently saved components such as:
– the operating system,
– software,
– data.
 A Compact Flash card in an Industrial PC can be compared to the hard disk of an
Engineering PC.
Backup
 A "Backup" is created using »IPC Backup & Restore« under Windows® CE.
 When a backup is carried out, individual components are copied from the Compact
Flash card to a USB stick.
Restore
 A "Restore" of the backup data is carried out using »IPC Backup & Restore« under
Windows® CE.
 "Restore" describes the process of restoring backup data from a
USB stick to the Compact Flash card.
 A restore for instance is used
– to transfer individual components from one Industrial PC to another IPC,
– to restore individual data if a fault has occurred.

Note!
A backup written to the USB stick only contains individual system data!
For creating a complete backup you have to:
• Switch off the IPC,
• Remove the CF card,
• Insert the CF card in a CF card reader,
• Archive the data of the CF card under Windows® XP using »IPC Backup &
Restore«
