6.5 Backing Up and Restoring a Sedona Project
6.5.1 Introduction
The Sedona Project Backup and Restore utility program (BASbackup) provides a
convenient way to save a project to a desktop or laptop computer. A project consists
of the following files:

Sedona Framework binary application file (app.sab.target)

Sedona Framework source application file (app.sax)

BAScontrol20 configuration file (bas_cfg.xml)

BAScontrol20 web component file (webc.xml)
These files are sufficient to completely backup a project without the need of a
Workbench tool. Although Sedona files can be backed up and restored using the
Workbench tool using the Get and Put commands, the BAScontrol20 configuration
and web component configurations are ignored. Therefore, the Sedona Project
Backup and Restore utility is the best and simplest way to store projects. The
BASbackup program is applicable to firmware of 3.0.28 and later.
6.5.2 System Requirements
BASbackup is a Java program that runs on a Linux, Windows 7 or later computer. It
can be downloaded from our website. Double-click the icon to open a window with a
default IP address as shown in
Figure 32 . A configuration file will be created as well.
6.5.3 Backing up a Sedona Project
Enter the correct IP Address of the BAScontrol20 to be backed up
— if it has changed
from its default value. This utility program will attempt to communicate with a device at
the address entered. The target controller must be powered with Sedona enabled and
accessible. Enter the location of the Sedona Home folder or browse for it using the
Choose Folder button. The Choose Folder button will launch a search window as
shown in
Figure 33 . The Sedona Home location should be something like:
C:\Niagara\Niagara 3.8.38\Sedona
