After backing up the HMI project files, use Windows Explorer to move the backed-up
files manually, if necessary, from the development computer (or computers) to the
production computers that will run the HMI servers.
Then, use the HMI Server Backup and Restore utility again, to restore the HMI project
files in their new location.
Where HMI project files are stored
HMI project files are stored in the following location, on computers hosting HMI servers
in a network distributed application:
 . . .\Users\Public\Documents\RSView Enterprise\SE\HMI Projects
 (Windows XP and Windows Server 2003)
. . .\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\RSView
Enterprise\SE\HMI Projects
HMI project files are stored in folders that have the same names as their HMI servers. For
example, the files belonging to an HMI server named Water would be stored in:
. . .\RSView Enterprise\SE\HMI Projects\Water
Restore the network distributed application
After moving the application’s HMI project files to production computers on the Network
Directory server computer, use the FactoryTalk Studio Enterprise to restore the backed-up
FactoryTalk View SE network distributed application.
To restore a network distributed application
1. On the Network Directory server computer, click Start > All Programs > Rockwell
Software, and then click FactoryTalk Administration Console.
If you are deploying an application that includes redundant HMI servers, for each redundant pair,
you must use the HMI Backup and Restore Utility to place a copy of the HMI project files on both
the primary and the secondary production computer.
You can only use Windows Vista to either host stand-alone or distributed applications that run on
a single computer, or run the FactoryTalk View SE Client or FactoryTalk View Studio software
which can connect to an application hosted on the same computer or an application hosted on a
remote computer. You cannot use Windows Vista to host HMI servers that other clients connect
to. To host HMI servers, use another supported operating system instead.
