Backup of firmware to Micro Memory Card (MMC)

In which situations should I back up the firmware?
In some cases, we recommend that you back up your CPU firmware:
For example, you might want to replace the CPU in your system with a CPU from store. In
this case, you should make sure that the shelf CPU has the same firmware that is used in
the plant.
We also recommend that you create a back-up copy of the firmware for emergency
situations.
