3.5.15. Backup files
With Backup Tool you can make an online backup of the MicroSCADA application.
MicroSCADA is running while the backup is made.
This tool makes a backup of the main application, not of the whole MicroSCADA.
In other words, it makes a backup of everything located under \SC\APL\'main
application name'.
This means that you always need a second backup of \SC, if you change
SYS_BASCON.COM or other files located outside the application.
This backup makes a shadow of the application in an other application (shadow
application). In normal use the shadow application is passive.
When the backup starts, it removes all the files in the shadowing application and
after that, it copies files from the main application to the shadowing application.
If some changes are made on files, which are already copied, it copies them again.
When the copying is ready, it freezes the shadow application and starts to copy the
shadow application to the tape or to some other media.
This tool is meant to be used for making an online backup in the single
MicroSCADA system. This is not meant for the online backup
functionality in the redundant (HSB) MicroSCADA systems.
