10.7 Backup and restore procedures

20221859 / F
General
The computer includes a DVD writer, making it possible to
back-up and restore software, charts and user information.
It is recommended to have backup routines that are carried out
regularly. The backup files may be restored if the original files
are damaged or lost.
It is strongly recommended to make a complete system backup when
the system is installed and configured.
The Simrad Recovery Console and Simrad Backup Manager are
programs that shall not be used under sailing conditions and when
need for navigation is present. The programs are meant for service
purpose only. If the ECDIS stops working, the voyage must be
continued on the backup system (Simrad PLECDIS) or officially
updated paper charts. The system can be recovered on previous
backups, but this must not sacrifice safety on the bridge.
Simrad Recovery Console
The Simrad Recovery Console contains the following functions:
1 Recover the factory default settings
2 Make new backups to be stored in the library
3 Restore from library backup
Simrad Backup Manager
The Simrad Backup manager is a program for writing library
backups to a DVD for safe storage. You can also write backups
from a DVD to the library. It is strongly recommended to store
important backups on a DVD because the library is not
considered as a safe storage for backup. All installations should
have at least one set of DVD's to recover the default installation.
Entering the Simrad Recovery Console
The recovery console mode has to be selected at start up. The
picture below is shown for some seconds at turn on. When the
picture is shown, select Simrad Recovery Console by using the
keyboard arrows. If this is not performed, the unit automatically
starts in the ECDIS mode.
