Archive a
Trusted
project

Archive a
Trusted
project to save a snapshot of its Windows’ folder for future restoration if there is data loss. The archived project contains all code, comments, modification history, documentation, and compiled binaries created by the project. Archived project files are compressed and saved with the extension ".taf" as
Trusted
archive files. Projects of up to 1 GB can be archived.
IMPORTANT: Archived projects are not encrypted and should not be used to store or transmit sensitive information over unencrypted protocols.
The Global Library is not included in archived projects. Take appropriate steps to ensure that the restored project is compatible with the Global Library that is used to restore the project. For example, the archived project should be shared along with the Global Library program organization unit (POU).
To archive a project:
  1. Open the project to archive.
  2. Select
    Project >
    Archive.
  3. In
    Archive Project
    , specify a name and storage location for the archive file, then select
    Save
    .
NOTE: When a project is archived from a folder with a depth level different than the depth level of the Projects location folder, it must be rebuilt to connect to the physical controllers or to go into simulation.
