Restore a FactoryTalk system

After backing up an entire
FactoryTalk Directory
, individual application, System folder, or security authority identifier in an archive file, restore these resources to:
  • Recover from a data loss
  • Move a development
    FactoryTalk
    system to a run-time system
  • Copy
    FactoryTalk Directory
    components to another computer
  • FactoryTalk Linx
    configuration
  • FactoryTalk Linx Gateway
    configuration
Restore the following:
  • Only an individual application, with or without the System folder
  • IMPORTANT:
    • Choose the correct backup options when creating a backup archive. Restoring from the wrong type of backup archive overwrites existing data that affects all applications.
    • An archive file created using
      FactoryTalk Services Platform
      6.10 cannot be restored on a computer running an earlier version of
      FactoryTalk Services Platform
      .
    • Archive files created using
      FactoryTalk Services Platform
      2.90 or later can be restored on a computer running
      FactoryTalk Services Platform
      6.10.
