Backup and restore FactoryTalk Linx configuration

Starting with v6.21, the

FactoryTalk Linx

shortcut and driver configurations can be backed up and restored in

FactoryTalk Administration Console

. It is important to create a backup of the system configuration after any significant changes are made, to aid in recovering system operation should a computer hardware or operating system failure occur.

The

FactoryTalk Linx

configurations can be backed up and restored from the

FactoryTalk Administration Console

. The

FactoryTalk Linx

configuration is contained in four areas that must all be retained if you plan to restore the system later. The application contains the server and shortcut configuration,

FactoryTalk Linx

stores driver information needed by the shortcuts separately, the FactoryTalk System folder contains the security policy settings utilized by

FactoryTalk Linx

and

FactoryTalk Policy Manager

maintains the CIP Security configuration used by

FactoryTalk Linx

when CIP Security is enabled.
