Backing up and restoring data

Introduction
The operating system and the Runtime software are located on the supplied Restore DVD.
You can use this to restore the original software of the CPU 1515SP PC (F).
If you use functions from the Restore menu, you must acknowledge a security message. For
the functions, 72 hours are available in each case. If the functions are no completed within
this period, the CPU 1515SP PC (F) is automatically restarted.
Save your project to partition D: of the CFast card.
SIMATIC IPC Image & Partition Creator
You can also create your own image of your CFast card. This contains the operating system,
the Runtime software and the complete project loaded from the TIA Portal.
To back up data in Windows Embedded Standard 7, we recommend the software tool

restore of the contents of the CFAST card and of individual partitions (images).
