Restoring an unencrypted backup

This procedure describes the steps to install an unencrypted cloud backup (DIST) file on a remote controller using Workbench.

Prerequisites:

Connected to a properly licensed platform commissioned with the same version of Niagara as that of the downloaded backup
One or more decrypted cloud backups already downloaded and stored in your User Home Backups folder.

NOTE: If your controller has suffered a hardware failure, you can download the cloud backup via the asset manager tool in the Niagara Community portal, and save it to the Workbench PC that is commissioning the replacement JACE.

Perform the following steps:

Open a platform connection to the controller.
Double-click on the Distribution File Installer option.
In the Distribution File Installer view, click Backups.
Select the desired unencrypted DIST file and click Install.
