Automatic backup

Under "Automatic backup" you can activate or deactivate the "Automatic backup" function.
If the "Automatic backup" function is activated the data of the HMI device is automatically
backed up to the system memory card during operation in form of a backup including
firmware. The data on the system memory card are permanently synchronized with the data
of the HMI device. You can insert the system memory card into any HMI device of the same
type. After data is copied and a restart has been performed, the HMI device of the same type
is operational.

Only the SIMATIC SD memory card ≥ 32 GB is permitted for use as a system memory card.
All other memory cards are not recognized as system memory card by the HMI device.

If you use the system memory card of an HMI device in an HMI device of a different type, an
error message is displayed.
For service purposes, use a system memory card only in HMI devices of the same type.

If the "Automatic backup" function is activated, the system memory card may only be
removed when the HMI device is switched off.
Automatic backup and updating the operating system
If you want to update the operating system of the HMI device and have activated the
"automatic backup" function, leave the system memory card in the HMI device before and
after the entire update.
The "Automatic Backup" function is deactivated in the delivery state of the device.
The "System memory card plugged" dialog box is displayed as soon as you insert a memory
card into the system memory card slot. To go to the Control Panel, click "OK". There you can
activate a new system memory card or restore data from a prepared system memory card.
