WCCIII-MCD2 Backup/Restore Data to
and from USB Drives
Please see the mcd-menu program user instructions in either the
WCC3 Administrator’s Guide on pages ADMIN-3 to ADMIN-7
or the WCC III manual Section 2, Initiating the System on pages
2-20 to 2-22 for more detailed instructions on how to operate
and use the mcd-menu setup program that is located within the
WCCIII-MCD2.
The WCCIII-MCD2 provides for a backup and restore of data to
and from an end user or contractor supplied USB memory stick
from within the mcd-menu program that is run from within the
WCCIII-MCD2.
Again, the end user or contractor is responsible for this USB
memory stick data backup of the WCCIII-MCD2. The USB
memory stick should be blank before starting a backup of the
WCCIII-MCD2. The end user or contractor must verify that the
USB memory stick is blank before any attempt at backing up the
WCCIII-MCD2.
The directory of the standard listing of fi les on the USB memory
stick is listed above.
We store only the necessary WCC3.exe DAT fi les on this USB
memory stick - not any of the WCC3 executable programs.
The WCC3 program type of executable fi les are available from
WattMaster Controls, Inc. on an installation CDROM.
The needed Linux fi les for the initial WCC III-MCD2 build are
not generally available to the end user or contractor. They are on
a separate USB memory stick and should not be used for this USB
data backup memory stick.
The SlideFiles subdirectory is where the necessary fi les for the
WCC3.exe program’s Custom Screens and Bitmap Screens are
backed up to and then restored from. They are normally stored
within the WCC III-MCD2 when these fi les are uploaded (Stored)
to the WCC III-MCD2 from the WCC3.exe program. This
“Upload Slide Screen Files” to the WCC III-MCD2 is a manual
user function – it is not automatically done by the WCC3.exe
program. The user must initiate this function. If there are no fi les
in this subdirectory, then there has never been any user initiated
“Upload Slide Screen Files” to the WCC III-MCD2 from the
WCC3.exe program.
The WGCCFiles subdirectory is where the necessary fi les for the
WGCC3.exe program’s Standard Graphics Screens and Custom
Graphic Screens are backed up to and then restored from. These
fi les are normally stored within the WCC III-MCD2 when these
fi les are uploaded (Stored) to the WCC III-MCD2 from the
WGCC3.exe program. This “Upload Screen Files” to the WCCIII-
MCD2 is a manual user function – it is not automatically done by
the WGCC3.exe program. The user must initiate this function. If
there are no fi les in this subdirectory, then there has never been any
user initiated “Upload Screen Files” to the WCC III-MCD from
the WGCC3.exe program.
This USB memory stick data backup is unique to each and every
jobsite. We recommend that a user or contractor initiated backup
occurs every 6 months for WCCIII-MCD2 data integrity.
There is a text fi le that is also created on this USB drive when a
backup is made to the USB drive that also lists the time and date
that this particular backup was made. This fi le is named “wcciii-
backup.txt”.
