14.1.2.15 Backup > Automatic backup
In this dialog, you define the name of the backup file and specify the time when the automatic
backup will be performed.
Backup file area
File name
In the Backup file area, you enter your choice of name for the backup files under "File name".
The file name may contain up to ten letters.
If you have selected the "Expand file name automatically" property, the system dynamically
appends the date and time to the selected file name. You set this property in the Backup >
Settings dialog.
If the value of the "Automatically expand file name of the backup file" is set to "No", the file
name will have a four-digit number added to it. The number 1 then corresponds to the format
"0001". If only one backup file is set, the number is incremented with each new backup. Here,
all the backup files in the set directory are taken into account. If a selected file name matches
a backup file name that has already been created, the system identifies the highest number
and increments this. As long as the selected file name is not changed, the calculated number
for the maximum number of backup files is taken into account. This is also the case for backup
files added to the target directory manually by a user. If these backup files correspond to the
set naming scheme of SIMATIC BATCH, they are also deleted. Deleting is always started
before an automatic backup is started. In the file system, deletion is not updated immediately.
Directory
Under Directory, you choose the file location for the backup files. Click the "..." button and
select a folder for the file storage. Only shared folders are offered for selection.
