Manual Backups
Manual Backup is a non-automated process of copying and storing data on a selected EcoStruxure BMS server. You can use this option to create backups on an as-needed basis. You can also manually restore the data at any time.
You log on to one of the following EcoStruxure BMS servers to initiate a manual backup:
Field server or Enterprise Server to perform a local backup. Pour plus d'informations, voir Local Backup and Restore of EcoStruxure BMS Servers .
Enterprise Server to perform a remote backup of any field servers that are created under the Enterprise Server. Pour plus d'informations, voir Remote Backup and Restore of Field Servers .
Enterprise Central to perform a remote backup of any Enterprise Servers that are created under the Enterprise Central. Pour plus d'informations, voir Local Backup and Restore of EcoStruxure BMS Servers .
Backup Set Naming
For manual backups, the system initially names the backup set by combining the EcoStruxure BMS server name and version with the localized date and time of the machine running WorkStation. For scheduled backups, however, the system combines the EcoStruxure BMS server name with the UTC time in the backup set name rather than the local time.
The system also retains the UTC time of manually generated backups. To view the UTC time rather than the localized time for a manual backup set, select the Backup date property from the column selector of the Backup Sets List view. Pour plus d'informations, voir Columns .
If you log on to the Enterprise Server in WorkStation to create a backup of the field server, the system automatically checks for identical backup set names. If a name is found in the AS Archives folder, the system warns of a potential duplication by highlighting the Backup set name prefix box or the Backup set name suffix box in solid red. If you do not change the prefix or suffix, the system displays a red box around the backup set in the Backup set name column to indicate that there is an existing name. If you still do not change the name, the system automatically appends an extended time stamp to prevent the accidental overwriting.

Local Backup and Restore of EcoStruxure BMS Servers
In WorkStation, you can log on to an EcoStruxure BMS server directly to perform manual backup and restore tasks.

Remote Backup and Restore of Field Servers
When you log on to an Enterprise Server, you can perform remote backups of any field server in the system. Whenever a backup occurs on the field server, the system overwrites the locally stored file on the field server with the new backup file. The Enterprise Server then retrieves and stores this backup file in a separate directory on the computer that runs the Enterprise Server.

Local Backup of EcoStruxure BMS Servers using Device Administrator
You can manually create backup sets using Device Administrator. The backup sets can be saved at any location. One or many EcoStruxure BMS Servers can be backed up at the same time.
