Backup

The Backup of the running configuration on the AMC-IP board is stored on a file in the flash memory. The file is called backup.bin. The file is stored in the flash memory, and survives autoload. A backup can be done by:

• dialling 7820 (or 7821) + M-key on a SuperUser station
• from AlphaWeb

When upgrading the AMC software and the AMC Database versions are different, the running configuration will be deleted and factory default settings will be generated. Before continuing you must create a backup of the running configuration by doing a GetAll operation from AlphaPro. Note: A backup.bin file is compatible within the same AMC Database version only, and cannot be used to restore the configuration.

7820 Backup: The running configuration is restored from the backup file (backup.bin) every time the exchange reset. When using this backup option, a master backup (7821) should be made every time the configuration is changed, if not the changes are lost after next reset or power off.
7821 Master Backup: The running configuration is restored from the backup file (backup.bin) every time the exchange reset. When using this backup option, a master backup (7821) should be made every time the configuration is changed, if not the changes are lost after next reset or power off.
