Chapter 4: Backing Up and Restoring System Software

Disaster Recovery

for an Industrial PC

Controller

This information applies to 3070 systems with Industrial

PC (IPC) controllers with DVD drives.

Backup vs. Disaster Recovery

Backup is the copying of files (board directories) to a

removable media or network. Disaster recovery is the

process of restoring the system to operational readiness

after a major catastrophe like a hard disk failure.

For backup you can use File Explorer for copying to a

network device, or HP RECORD NOW to copy the files

to a removable media like CD or DVD. These files can

then be copied back to the hard drive as needed.

Provided for your 3070 system, is a separate software

package called PowerQuest Drive Image. This software
