4.3 Maintaining Backups
Important
To be prepared in case of disaster (flood, lightning strike, etc.), we strongly recommend
you maintain backups of your configuration, data, and applications. Maintaining current
backups is a key part of successful disaster recovery. Anytime you modify the
configuration or applications/solutions, you should perform a new backup. If RTU
historical data is critical to your operation, you should back it up on a regular basis.
EXPLOSION HAZARD - MAY CAUSE DEATH
Ensure the area in which you perform this operation is non-hazardous. Performing this
operation in a hazardous area could result in an explosion.
4.3.1 Backing up Historical Data and Your Configuration
Important
While this procedure includes instructions to back up historical data to a PC, there is no
mechanism for restoring the historical data to the RTU. The backup is so you can preserve
the data for auditing or other purposes.
