This section describes the specifications of the backup-related files. These backup-related files apply to
all backup functions except for the Sysmac Studio variable and memory backup functions.

9-11-1 Types of Backup-related Files

There are four types of files that are related to backup functions: backup files, restore command files,
automatic transfer command files, and verification results files.
 Backup File
This file contains the Controller data that is handled by the backup-related functions. Backup files
are created when data is backed up.
 Restore Command File
This file specifies the data groups to transfer by restoring data from a SD Memory Card. You can edit
this file with a text editor on a computer to specify the data groups to transfer. These files are created
when data is backed up.
 Automatic Transfer Command File
This file specifies the data groups to transfer by automatically transferring data from a SD Memory
Card. You can edit this file with a text editor on a computer to specify the data groups to transfer.
These files are created when data is backed up.
 Verification Results Files
The verification results files contain the results of comparing the Controller data and the data in a
backup file on the SD Memory Card in the CPU Unit.
There are four different verification results files, as described below. These files are created when
you perform a verification using the SD Memory Card backup function.

This file contains the verification results for all backup data specified by the restore
command file.
This file contains the verification results for each EtherCAT slave. It is created
when the Unit and slave settings are set to be restored in the restore command file
and the EtherCAT slave settings are contained in the backup file.
This file contains the verification results for each EtherCAT Coupler Unit and NX
Unit. This file is created when all of the following conditions are met.
• The Unit and slave settings are specified for restoration in the restore command
file.
• The EtherCAT slave settings are included in the backup file.
• One or more EtherCAT Slave Terminals is connected.
If an EtherCAT Slave Terminal verification results file is created, an EtherCAT slave
verification results file is always created at the same time.
This file contains the verification results for each CJ-series Unit. It is created when
the Unit and slave settings are set to be restored in the restore command file and
the CJ-series Unit settings are contained in the backup file.
