Restoring an OpenLNS CT Drawing Backup
To restore an OpenLNS CT drawing backup, follow these steps:
1. Open the OpenLNS CT Design Manager. Click Start on the taskbar, point to Programs, point to
Echelon OpenLNS CT, and then select OpenLNS CT.
2. Select the OpenLNS CT drawing to restore from the Drawing Directory list.
3. Click Restore. The OpenLNS CT Restore dialog box opens, unless the currently selected
network does not have any backups saved in the default location. In this case, proceed to step 6 to
select the drawing backup to restore in the Select Backup File dialog.
4. Select the Restore from OpenLNS CT Backup check box.
5. If there is no file containing both network database and OpenLNS CT drawing backups, the Select
Backup File dialog opens. Otherwise, click Browse to open this dialog.
6. Select the OpenLNS CT backup file (.zip extension) of the desired OpenLNS CT drawing to
restore (the drawing backup files are in the following format by default: <network
name>Dwg[_index].zip), and click Open or double-click the OpenLNS CT backup file.
7. Click OK in the OpenLNS CT Restore dialog box.

an OpenLNS CT drawing. The Confirm Restore dialog box opens.

directory.
10. Click Yes to delete the existing drawing folder before restoring the network, or click No to

restored successfully.
