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

 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!

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.

• 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.

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«.

Introduction
Differences between archive, backup, and restore

2.2 Differences between archive, backup, and restore

 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.

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.

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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

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

Introduction
Using a backup

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.

 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!

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.

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.

 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!

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)

2.6 Summary of the functions

 There is a basic difference between archiving a CF card

and carrying out a backup with a USB stick:
– Archiving a CF card backs up all data sets of the CF card,
 A Backup with a USB stick only backs up user data and the IPC components selected.
Backups created with a USB stick are designed for the regular backup of user data!

4.3 Device replacement

A device replacement is required if a defective hardware (x700 system) is to be replaced

with the follow-up system (x800).
 The Device replacement function serves to prepare the CF card of a replacement device
using »IPC Backup & Restore«, so that the configuration data of IPC 1 (like for instance
parameters, boot project, visualisation) can be transferred to the replacement device
(x800 system).
 This enables a subsequent device replacement from an x700 system to an x800 system.

[4-2] Basic representation of a device replacement: IPC 2 replaces IPC 1 within the machinery. CF card 2 has to be prepared using
the "Device replacement" function.

 Basic procedure:
1. Import CF card 1 from IPC 1 (device to be replaced including the source data) in the »IPC
Backup & Restore« ( )

2. Have CF card 2 of the replacement device converted ( )

3. Insert CF card 2 in IPC 2. ( )

• Start IPC 2 (replacement device) with CF card 2.

The IPC will then restart (several times) until the migration and the data for the display are
adapted.

 How to transfer the existing configuration data (source data) to the CF card of the
replacement device (x800):
1. Select Device replacement tab
