7.6 Backing up data
We recommend the software tool SIMATIC IPC Image & Partition Creator (as of V3.3.2) to
back up data under Windows operating systems. This tool provides convenient and efficient
functions for backing up and restoring the full content of memory cards, hard disk drives and
individual partitions (images).
SIMATIC IPC Image & Partition Creator supports the burning of DVD media only. You can
order the tool using the Siemens online ordering system
(http://www.siemens.com/automation/mall). For more information about SIMATIC IPC Image
& Partition Creator, refer to its product documentation.
