For more information about the backup and restore operations, see “Step 2 – Back up the
deployed application” on page 107.
To back up the HMI project
On Server #2, use the HMI Server Backup and Restore utility to back up the primary
server’s HMI project. Click Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software >
FactoryTalk View > Tools > HMI Server Backup and Restore. For details about
using the utility, click Help.
To back up the application
1. On Server #2, click Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software, and then click
FactoryTalk Administration Console.
2. Select Network, and then click OK.
3. In the Explorer window, right-click the application you want to back up, and then
click Backup.
4. Specify an archive name and location.
To specify a location other than the default, type the path or click the Browse button to
find and select a location.
5. Select the check box, Backup System in archive, and then click OK.
Copy backed-up application files to Server #1
After backing up the migrated application and HMI project files on Server #2, copy the
files to the same location on Server #1.
To copy backup files to Server #1
1. On Server #1, open Windows Explorer, browse to where the backed-up HMI project
and application files are saved on Server #2, and then copy the files.
Before backing up an application, record the user names and passwords of FactoryTalk users
with administrative rights, in case this information is required for the restore operation.
To back up a network application, the logged on user must have FactoryTalk administrative
rights. If you receive a prompt to log on, check with your System Administrator.
Application archive files have a .bak extension. The default location for application files is:
C:\Users\Public\Documents
(Windows XP and Windows Server 2003) C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documents
