3.3 Differences between backup, restore, and update
The »Backup & Restore« tool enables the following actions: backup, restore, and update.
• The processes Backup (saving data), Restore (importing data of a backup), and Update (updating
the software of the controller) are to be distinguished.
• Auto-Restore and Auto-Update are optimised processes for carrying out a series
commissioning.
3.3.1 Backup
What is a backup?
A backup saves the entire data base of a Lenze Controller.
• The backup saves the following permanently stored data bases of the controller:
• Operating system
• Software
• Project data
• A backup is the basis to be able to carry out a restore in the event of an error. Lenze recommends
the creation of regular backups to avoid data loss.
Functional principle of a backup
• During the creation of a backup on the controller components (from the internal flash memory
and the SD card) are copied to the USB stick.
• The USB stick is the storage medium used for backups. The backup always comprises the
contents of the internal flash memory and the SD card.
• A backup is to be carried out manually. Further information can be found in the following
