Restoring a backup

Restoring a backup 1:

Use suitable backups to restore

A backup can only be restored to one device within the same series, e.g. CX51x0, CX20x3, C6015 etc., otherwise incompatibilities may occur if the backup is restored to a device from a different series.

You can restore a backup with the aid of the TwinCAT/BSD installer stick. To do this, the industrial PC must be booted from the TwinCAT/BSD installer stick.

Requirements:

Proceed as follows:

1. Connect the TwinCAT/BSD installer stick to the industrial PC.
2. Boot the industrial PC from the TwinCAT/BSD installer stick.

Open the boot menu with [F7] if the industrial PC doesn't boot automatically from the USB stick.

3. Select the UEFI entry for the USB stick and confirm with [Enter]. The industrial PC boots from the USB stick and the Beckhoff TwinCAT/BSD installer is run.
Select the Restore option.
4. Select the backup to be restored to the industrial PC.
Restoring a backup 2:
Restart the industrial PC after restoring. The industrial PC is now in the state it was at the time of the backup.
