Backup of project data to SIMATIC Micro Memory Card (MMC)

Function principle
Using the Save project to Memory Card and Fetch project from Memory Card functions, you
can save all project data to a SIMATIC Micro Memory Card, and retrieve these at a later
time. For this operation, the SIMATIC Micro Memory Card can be located in a CPU or in the
MMC adapter of a PG or PC.
Project data are compressed before they are saved to a SIMATIC Micro Memory Card, and
uncompressed when fetched.
Note
In addition to project data, you may also have to store your user data on the MMC. You
should therefore first verify SIMATIC Micro Memory Card memory space.
A message warns you if the memory capacity on your SIMATIC Micro Memory Card is
insufficient
The volume of project data to be saved corresponds with the size of the project's archive file.
Note
For technical reasons, you can only transfer the entire contents (user program and project
data) using the Save project to memory card action.
