Question
How can I restore a SIMATIC BATCH server to its original state?
Objective
The aim is to restore a previously created backup file of recipe data on the SIMATIC BATCH
server using the Options > Restore command.
Requirements
● The database of the SIMATIC BATCH server must be empty or must not yet exist.
● You have created a backup file in the BatchCC using the Options > Backup command.
● You must archive required batch data beforehand in the BatchCC. These data are not
included in the backup file.
Procedure
1. Exit all SIMATIC BATCH applications in the process cell and exit the BATCH Launch
Coordinator. Right-click the corresponding symbol on the Taskbar > Exit. This ensures that
BATCH processes do not prevent the deletion action in the following step.
2. In the released BATCH folder "sbdata" on the SIMATIC BATCH server, delete the following
folders. The location of the BATCH folder "sbdata" depends on the type of installation and
the operating system used, as follows. Open the "Shares" folder in Computer Management
under System > Shared Folders > Shares. The shared folder name is "BATCH" and the
folder path is also displayed.

3. If you are using a redundant configuration, perform steps 1 and 2 on the redundant SIMATIC
BATCH server.
4. Load the batch files from the ES (SIMATIC Manager) in the BATCH configuration dialog to
the BATCH server(s). This will generate a new project folder: "SB8_*".
