TwinCAT Backup

In addition to files, directories and settings, TwinCAT configurations are also backed up. Users can specify additional components they wish to back up. Furthermore, essential operating system-specific information is backed up. These include user settings, profiles, network settings and much more. Any of the media connected to the PC can be used for the backup, for example a hard disk, a floppy disk, a CD writer or a network drive.

In the event of a restore, all files and settings are copied to a new computer on which an operating system is already installed. In addition, TwinCAT is installed and configured. This also includes the automatic preparation of a System Manager configuration and creation of a boot project. Installations can be customised.

If fieldbus cards differ (e.g. if the cards are plugged into different PCI slots), the backup tool will attempt an automatic adaptation. Between certain fieldbus cards, it is even possible to carry out an automatic update. The backup is configured in XML.
