Comparison of Backup and Restore Methods
There are two Backup and Restore methods:
EcoStruxure Building Operation Backup and Restore
BACnet Backup and Restore
You can select the backup and restore method that suits your EcoStruxure BMS server data storage and retrieval requirements.
The following table contrasts the EcoStruxure Building Operation and BACnet backup and restore methods.

Description |
|
EcoStruxure Building Operation Backup |
Backs up configuration data and historical data |
Use this method to back up EcoStruxure BMS servers that can include data from b3, LonWorks, NETWORK 8000, I/NET, and Modbus devices. The b3 devices are automatically backed up whenever an EcoStruxure BMS server is backed up. Therefore, b3 devices do not need backing up using the BACnet Backup method. |
|
BACnet Backup |
Backs up configuration data |
Use this method to backup primarily:
BACnet Backup and Restore can also backup and restore b3 devices that are connected to either a b3CX controller or external router. However, BACnet backup and restore cannot backup b3 devices when the devices are connected to a field server that functions as a router. Pour plus d'informations, voir BACnet Backup and Restore . |

EcoStruxure Building Operation Restore |
Restores an EcoStruxure BMS server using configuration data and historical data contained in a backup set |
Use this method to restore EcoStruxure BMS servers that can include data from b3, LonWorks, NETWORK 8000, I/NET, and Modbus devices. |
|
BACnet Restore |
Restores a device using configuration data contained in a backup set (no historical data) |
Use this method to backup primarily:

To restore archived data, use the Archiving feature rather than Restore method. See Pour plus d'informations, voir Archiving Overview .
