Model: Backup and Restore V2.x

Category: Backup recovery software

Type: Software Manual

This manual is also suitable for

Backup and Restore V3.x

Lenze Backup and Restore V2.x is software for PC-based automation that allows you to duplicate, archive and restore the content of CompactFlash cards and USB sticks, as well as update the software of the IPC. These functions enable you to create backups of your automation system and restore it in the event of a fault.

This ensures that any downtimes that occur can be kept to a minimum. The automated backup function is particularly useful, as it can be scheduled to run on a regular basis. This means that you can be sure that your data is always backed up, even if you forget to do it manually.

2 Introduction

This chapter contains information on the function of the archive, backup, and restore. »IPC

Backup & Restore« requires the Microsoft Windows® XP operating system.

2.1 Functions

The »IPC Backup & Restore« software provides the following basic functions:

1. Creation and management of archives Archive ( 25),

2. Creation of backups Backup with USB stick ( 27),

3. Update of the runtime software Update ( 31).

For archives and backups, different storage media are used. Information on the differences

between archives and backups and the storage media to be selected can be found in the

following chapters:

What is an archive? ( 12)

What is a backup? ( 12)

What is a restore? ( 12)

2.1.1 Using Compact Flash cards

Compact Flash cards of swissbit® are available in different versions.

»IPC Backup & Restore« only supports the "Fixed Disk (non removable)" version with

ultra direct memory access (UDMA) which

– is used in the industrial PC as bootable memory medium,

– can be partitioned and formatted like a hard disk.

Note!

For an error-free backup and restore of data in the »IPC Backup & Restore« only

Compact Flash cards of the company swissbit®, variant "Fixed Disk(non

removable) with ultra direct memory access (UDMA)" are approved!

Information on different Compact Flash(CF) versions

2.1.2 Structure of the »IPC Backup & Restore«

»IPC Backup & Restore« is composed of two components:

»IPC Backup & Restore« on the engineering PC under Windows® XP,

»IPC Backup & Restore« on the IPC under Windows® CE.

The contents of this documentation refer to the use of the »IPC Backup & Restore« on the

engineering PC.

Further information on the use of the »IPC Backup & Restore« under Windows® CE can

be found in the documentation for the

industrial PC in the section »IPC Backup & Restore«.

Version Function

Fixed Disk(non removable) • The CF card can be used like a hard disk.

• Partitioning and formatting is possible.

Removable Disk • The CF card can be formatted, but partitioning is not possible.

Ultra direct memory access (UDMA) Ultra direct memory access

• provides direct and quicker data access to the contents of the CF card.

• can only be used if the hardware supports ultra direct memory access.

Introduction

Differences between archive, backup, and restore

12 L1.6 EN - 01/2011

2.2 Differences between archive, backup, and restore

2.2.1 What is an archive?

The term Archive describes the contents of a CF card. The archive is created under

Windows® XP by the CF card.

The CF card

contains the complete "memory" of the industrial PC,

contains all permanently saved pieces of information of the IPC components such as

– the operating system,

– software,

–data.

For the industrial PC, the CF card is what the hard disk is for the engineering PC. There,

all data required for operation are stored.

Using an archive

2.2.2 What is a backup?

A backup is created under Windows® CE.

With a backup, individual IPC components are copied from the CF card to a USB stick.

Using a backup ( 14)

2.2.3 What is a restore?

Restore describes the process of restoring backup data from a

USB stick on the CF card.

"Restore" is for instance used to

– transfer individual components from one industrial PC to another IPC,

– restore data in the event of a defect.

Backups are restored under Windows® CE.

Using a restore ( 16)

Note!

The archive of a CF card is basically different from a backup of an industrial PC.

The contents and the structure of archive and backup are different. This is why

an archive can, for instance, not be replaced by a backup.

1.6 EN - 01/2011 L13

Control technology | IPC Backup & Restore

Introduction

Using an archive

2.3 Using an archive

You can restore the archive of a CF card on your engineering PC on a new Compact

Flash card.

Tip!

How to carry out a backup or restore under Windows® CE on the industrial PC is

described in the chapter "Backup and Restore" of the software manual for the

industrial PC.

Archiving requires that the engineering PC is equipped with a card reader.

When archiving a CF card, the whole CF card contents will be backed up on your hard

disk.

– The backed up archive can be restored on another CF card later.

– An industrial PC can be booted with a restored CF card. After inserting the CF card,

the IPC can be started directly.

Using a backup ( 14)

2.3.1 Archiving a CF card

If all data bases of the CF card of an industrial PC are to be backed up on the engineering

PC, a card reader must be connected to the engineering PC.

For more information on archiving a CF card, please see:

Backup with USB stick ( 27)

Note!

Observe the differences between the storage media when restoring archives!

• A restore only restores configuration-dependent software components.

• During the restore, the whole contents of the Compact Flash card are

restored.

Note!

For completely restoring a software version, the CF card must be archived. When

the CF card is archived, all CF card data are backed up. Archiving therefore

requires enough memory space on the CF card.

Control technology | IPC Backup & Restore

Introduction

Using a backup

14 L1.6 EN - 01/2011

2.4 Using a backup

Whereas CF card archives represent a complete data base, USB sticks are designed for the

backup of individual IPC components.

An advantage of the use of backups is the automatic backup functionality when booting

up the industrial PC. Unlike CF card archiving, the USB stick is not to be removed from the

industrial PC.

The term "Backup" describes the following process:

When creating a backup using a USB stick as storage medium on your industrial PC,

components are copied from your CF card to the USB stick.

The restore of a backup on your industrial PC is called "Restore". Backups stored on a

USB stick can additionally be transferred from the USB stick to an engineering PC.

The contents of a backup can be configured: Backup with USB stick ( 27)

A backup may contain maximally four IPC components:

Operating system; boot loader

Lenze software

System configuration

Data

Note!

Risk of data loss!

When duplicating or restoring a CF card, the data carrier is formatted and made

bootable. When a USB stick is selected, the USB stick is afterwards no longer

suitable for being used on an industrial PC!

The storage medium selected in Backup & Restore must correspond to the

storage medium physically available!

Introduction

Using a backup

The more IPC components you select, the more memory space is required on your USB

stick. When creating the first backup, all components should be selected. Data ( 29)

As soon as backups are created at regular intervals, we recommend only to backup the IPC

components that change. These are mainly data. Please read the section Backup with

USB stick ( 27) to see which data are backed up.

2.4.1 Backup with USB stick

If data of an industrial PC are to be backed up on a USB stick, the USB stick must be

prepared using this software. When the USB stick is prepared, the »IPC Backup & Restore«

on the industrial PC can automatically generate the required backup (depending on the

configuration). Backups are provided with special names which contain information on the

industrial PC. The data which are considered by a backup is described under: Data ( 29)

[2-1] Backup - overview

Note!

A defect on a CF card can only be removed by restoring the archive on another CF

card! When a USB stick is used, the system is always expected to be executable.

As a precaution, always create an archive from a CF card!
