Configuration options
The configuration options offered during the wizard setting are described below.
User data
Valid user data is necessary from the system in order to facilitate auto-boot processes on the part of the operating system (for instance, to integrate bootable setups). The settings are used for the Windows autoboot options.
Enter your Windows user name and password here. Confirm the password and select "Next >".
Profile name and directory path
Symbolic names are required in order to identify the backup configurations. The path data specifies the directory in which the backup archive (which is available when the process is executed) will be stored.
Enter the path name and confirm with "Next >".
Type selection
The type selection determines the time settings with which backups will be executed. The available options are:
- Backup on interval: cyclic backup after a selected interval
- Backup on every day: daily backup
- Backup on every week: weekly backup
- Backup on every month: monthly backup
Select a type.
This setting provides the basis for the start selection in the "Time setting" category.
Preselection of the backup data
Information about the backup data is collected with the help of this Wizard.
This permits the backing up of:
- Files and directories: selection for directories and files
It is important that the copy and copy path options are selected before selecting the directories and files! Otherwise these files will only be available in the backup archive.
- Registry keys: settings for the Windows registry
- Operating system user infos: Windows user accounts
- Operating system group info: Windows user groups
- TwinCAT system data: TwinCAT relevant data such as
boot project, retain data, persistent data, System Manager configuration, TwinCAT Net ID, PLC project backup compatible with TwinCAT 2.8, TwinCAT Registry entries. 
- Network infos:
- Enable logging: recording messages while backing up
- Enable silent restore mode:
- Store OS autologin:
- Store OS autologinuser:
- Backup AutoStart folder:
Integrating setups and DLL registration
Setups and the option of DLL registration can be integrated into the backup. This information is executed at restore time.
- Setups such as, for example, InstallShield installations
After selecting the setup and confirming with OK, the following dialog opens:
User-independent execution of installations requires some parameters as shown in the example. At this point too, the options must be set before selecting the file ("Setup.exe"). User-independent installations are those that can be made without input. Many installation programs offer options of this type. Parameterization is then implemented through command line parameters. The following options are available:
- Reboot required: this option indicates that the system will have to be restarted after execution of the installation or after a restore procedure.
- Register DLL: DLL registration can be set up via the "DLL register" in a similar way to setup routines. The DLL is selected by means of the selection tree
- Execution after file restore:
- TwinCAT Installation: Install TwinCAT during restore
- Time scale on setup process:
Time setting
Time setting
The selection of the time setting completes a new backup profile.
Only the start time needs to be set:
- Service start date and time: backup start day and time
The further scaling is set via the backup type (in this case Backup on interval was selected), but can be changed:
- Interval: time interval in minutes after which the backup is performed again.
- Delete storages older than "xx" days: deletes storages older than "xx" days.
- Keep the min. number of "xx" storages: defines the minimum number of storages to keep.
