Do not rename backup files on the data storage medium
If you change the name of the saved backup files, these backup files can no longer be
loaded into the HMI device using the "Restore" function. The backup files become unusable.
Leave the name of the backup files on the data storage medium unchanged.
Copy backup files completely
If you copy the backup files, be sure to also copy the master file ".brf" together with all
associated backup files (".0", ".1", ".2", etc.).
If one of the files is missing, the backup cannot be loaded.
Backup to data storage medium on the HMI device
As an alternative to the configuration PC, you can also save the data via the Control Panel of
the HMI device on a data storage medium that is directly connected to the HMI device, see
section "Backup (Page 106)".
Restore from the configuration PC
To restore the data of the HMI device, follow these steps:
1. If a project is running on the HMI device, close the project.
2. Connect the HMI device to the configuration PC via the X1 or X2 interface. If possible,
use the X2 interface with the highest bandwidth.
3. In the Control Panel of the HMI device, select "Network and Internet".
Ensure that the port selected for data transmission is activated for the interface used
("Activate this port for use").
4. In the Control Panel of the HMI device, select "Service and Commissioning" > "Transfer".
5. Make sure that the "Enable transfer" option is activated, and select the setting "Ethernet"
or "PN/IE" under "Transfer channel" .
