Relation Between The Different Types Of Backup Functions And Data Groups - Omron NJ-series User Manual

Additional Information
The backup functions are executed as a system service. This means that if you perform a
backup or verification operation in RUN mode, it may take time for the operation to be completed.
If you perform a backup or verification operation in RUN mode, make sure that the sufficient exe-
cution time is allocated for the system service. You can reduce the processing time by perform-
ing the system service in PROGRAM mode.
