You may use this procedure to manually back up a single Supervisor or controller station. The Niagara Provisioning Guide explains how to set up a job prototype to back up all stations on a network.
Prerequisites: You are using
Workbench running on a PC and are connected to the remote station.
- Expand and double-click the BackupService.
The Backup Manager view opens.
- To back up the station, select the station and click Backup.
A
File Chooser window opens with a default location and name for the backup. The default
~backups folder is in the user home:
C:\Users\<user name>\<framework version>\tridium\backups where:
<user name> is the name that identifies your PC.
<framework version> identifies the current version of the
Niagara Framework.
- To change the backup location, use the icons at the top of this window or accept the default and click Save.
The BackupService creates a .dist (distribution) file of the station in the folder you selected.
