About backing up System information with an application
The following illustration shows what a FactoryTalk View SE network distributed
application looks like, in the Explorer window in FactoryTalk View Studio.
The FactoryTalk Network Directory is represented at the top of application hierarchy.
One level down, the System folder stores settings that are used by all the applications that
belong to the same Network Directory.
For example, FactoryTalk user and computer accounts set up for each application are
stored in the System folder.
When you back up a network application, System information for the application is not
archived automatically.
To save the System information, for example, in order to preserve user and computer
accounts, you must select the check box, Backup System in archive.
If you do back up System information with a network application, when you restore the
application, you can choose whether to restore the archived System information. Keep in
mind that the restored System information will not merge with existing FactoryTalk
System settings held at the current FactoryTalk Network Directory.
Instead, if the Network Directory on the local computer is active, you will replace user
and computer accounts set up for any other application using the directory.
