Restoring a backup

	Use a suitable backup for the restore Avoid incompatibilities and use the right backup for your device.

The backup of a Beckhoff RT Linux® image can in principle be restored to any storage medium. However, make sure that the backup is only used on a device of the same series, e.g. CX51x0, CX20x3, C6015 etc., as otherwise incompatibilities may occur.

Use a flash tool such as Rufus to do this. The backup is copied directly to the storage medium, in this example in VHDX format.

Prerequisites:

Existing backup of a Beckhoff RT Linux^® image (see also: Creating a backup).

Proceed as follows:

1. Start Rufus on a PC with Windows operating system. The storage medium (MicroSD, CFast) should already be integrated under Windows.

2. Click on Select and select the image you want to copy to the storage medium.

3. Select the microSD card as the target drive under Device.

4. Click on Start to start the copying process.

The process may take a few minutes. Do not cancel the process until the Ready message appears. Then boot the industrial PC from the storage medium used and start Beckhoff RT Linux^®.
