Cloning a machine

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

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