14.1.2.14 Backup > Settings
In this dialog, you define the settings for automatic exports of your batch process cell data. A
backup
file is where all BATCH project data, such as process cell settings, project settings, libraries,
formulas, master recipes, and materials, are saved. Batch data are saved in archive files and
not in backup files. The use of a backup file as a restore requires a consistent process cell
environment. A backup file may only be restored on the BATCH process cell on which it was
generated.
