Database
This menu allows the TWC data store to be backed up to, or restored from, a USB memory stick. It also
allows the data to be erased.
"Data" comprises:
Tools and tool templates
•
Jobs and documents produced from completed jobs
•
Uncertainty data
•
Settings are not considered "data" and therefore are not affected by backup, restore, or erasure options.
To perform a backup or restore, simply insert a USB memory stick, wait a few seconds, and select the
desired option.
NOTE:
You may see a popup window appear when inserting a memory stick. Simply tap cancel,
or tap on the TWC UI behind it, to drop back to the TWC interface.
NOTE:
Memory sticks are best formatted in FAT32, and should not have more than one partition.
NOTE:
You may back up as many times as you wish to a USB stick, but do not restore from a
stick that contains multiple backups; whilst it will work, you will not have control over
which backup is selected and restored.
NOTE:
Restoration is a destructive process; all data already on the TWC will be removed to make
way for the backup.
