3.1 What are the functions offered by »Backup & Restore«?
»Backup & Restore« allows for...
• the creation of backups: saving the data of a Lenze Controller
• the restoring of backups: carrying out restores, restoring data bases
• the installation of updates (only available for the control technology): updating the software
version of the controller
3.2 Storage media used
The controller manages the data bases within an internal flash memory (flash) and on the SD
memory card.
»Backup & Restore« allows for saving/restoring the data of the internal flash memory and the SD
card on a USB stick.
Internal flash memory

• This memory contains the operating system and the Lenze software.
• The controller boots from this memory.
• Since this memory is fixedly installed in the device, the data stored are to be saved by means of
»Backup & Restore«.
