PCMCIA Backup/Restore Utility (optional)
The PCMCIA backup and restore utility allows you to back up critical system files to a
PCMCIA data card. This option is valid only at standalone or master TopKAT units. The four
files are vehicle, manual entry, transaction, and system configuration.
128K Card 1 128K Card 2
Vehicle Manual Entry
Sys Config Transaction
PCMCIA backups can be done using a 128K SRAM cards or a 256K card. Because of the
method used to back up the data, two 128K cards are required. You can back up all four files
(two per card) as shown in either example below:
128K Card 1 128K Card 2
Vehicle Manual Entry
Transaction Sys Config
All four files will fit on a 256K card. A kit is available containing two 256K cards. It is
recommended that each 256K card be used alternately for backups so that at any time, the user
has two previous backups.
Restoring system configuration data from backups, where the current version of software is
different from the backup version, is accomplished as follows.
• Restoration of data from an older version is allowed, but you will not have any backup
data for features not included in the prior backup. For example, if features a-x were backed
up and the new system contains features a-z, features a-x would be restored and features y
and z would still need correction.
• Backup of a newer version to an older version is not allowed. For example, if you have a
backup of version 1.1, you cannot restore it back to a version 1.0 system.
