Comparison between EWF and FBWF
● You should prefer FBWF, because it is more flexible in its configuration and allows
immediate writing without rebooting.
● If you use HORM or compressed NTFS, EWF is indispensable.
CAUTION
Data loss with several write filters
Both EWF and FBWF are preinstalled in the SIMATIC IPC images. If several writer
filters are active on one partition at the same time, you may experience data loss. This
may damage the machine or plant.
Make sure that you only activate one write filter for each partition.
Configuring FBWF
FBWF can be configured in command console using the program FBWFMGR.EXE.
Note
•
Observe the following syntax: Enter a
space
after the drive designation colon.
•
Changes for direct write access only take effect after rebooting.
•
Only existing files and folders can be entered in the exception list.
