Cloning a machine

In order to transfer the boot data of a TwinCAT or PLC project from one machine to another, copy the boot data from the first machine's boot directory and replace the boot data in the boot directory of the other machine.

If the TwinCAT system whose boot data are to be copied is in Run mode and persistent data are also to be exchanged, the TwinCAT system should first be switched from Run to Config mode so that the persistent data are saved in the file .bootdata and are available in the boot directory for copying. (See Port_xxx.bootdata)
