Backing Up and Restoring Controller Programming
Creating backups of your Controller programming is good practice to ensure you are protected against damage
in the event of hardware failure or malfunction.
The Protege WX interface provides a simple export tool for backing up the system to a SQL backup file (*.BAK).
This file works as a snapshot of your current system, enabling you to later restore and retain the programming at
the same point as you exported it. You can even backup programming from one Controller and restore it to
another. This can be useful when running a test environment, or for pre-programming a system prior to
deployment at a client site.
1. Navigate to System | Backup
2. To create a backup, select Backup Controller Programming. This creates a copy of the controllers
programming which may then be restored at a later date.
Depending on your browser settings, you may be prompted to save the file otherwise it is downloaded
automatically to your Downloads folder.
3. To restore programming, select Restore Controller Programming. This Imports a copy of the
programming from a BAK file created using the backup option.
4. Browse to the BAK file then press Import.
