6 Backing up/Restoring Configuration
Files
It is good practice to back up your configuration files on a regular basis.
This is especially important when changes are made, such as adding new
data terminals, or editing configuration parameters.
The SCADA gateway and terminal configuration settings are
automatically backed up, but it is also a good idea to periodically perform
a manual backup, particularly when a lot of changes have been made to
the configuration parameters.
The Backup and Restore functions back up and restore all settings,
including the IP address for the device. It is recommended that a backup
of each gateway in a network be taken and saved in a safe location and
that the backups should only be restored to the gateway from which they
were taken.
6.1 Manual Backup
1. Using a web browser, login to the SCADA gateway.
2. Select Files > Backups and then click Backup.
3. When an information message appears, click OK.
4. Give the gateway time to create the backup and then use a browser
command to reload the page. This updates the display to show the
file that has been created.
5. Click on the filename of the backup to download it and save it to a
safe location
The backup process saves the database settings for the SCADA gate-
way. It is also recommended to keep backups of the licence.dat file
and the
scadagw.cfg file in a safe place to make sure the gateway can
be rebuilt if there is ever a need to do so.
