The Backup Manager allows to perform and restore backups. The view is available in the Backups component in the System container.
The following options are available in the Backup Manager:
-
Backup: creates a backup and saves it on the device; each next backup overwrites the last backup unless saved locally with the Download Backup option;
-
Download: downloads a backup to the PC and saves it under a selected name in the iC Tool’s default backup folder (home\backup\nano EDGE ENGINE); after downloading, the backup is displayed in the Local Backups section;
While downloading a backup, it is possible to set its individual name:
-
Delete: removes a backup from a selected location (PC or device);
-
Restore: restores a backup to the device from a selected location (PC or most current backup saved on the device).
While restoring a backup, it is possible to decide whether the configuration settings are restored from the backup too, or left as set on the device. By default, the option to restore configuration settings from a backup is unchecked.
The configuration settings include:
-
iFnet port,
-
IP address,
-
mask,
-
default gateway,
-
DHCP enabled,
-
device name,
-
DNS1,
-
DNS2,
-
BACnet LocalDevice ID.
-
Rename: allows to rename a selected local backup.
The Backups component has one read-only slot:
-
Action: informs, which action is currently ongoing.
