Settings on the master computer
Settings on the master computer can be made on the Job Archive Server tab
page (SINUMERIK* machine configuration) in the configuration dialog for the
SINUMERIK* connection type (see also: Section 10.4.5 - Configuration dialog for
the SINUMERIK* connection type).
Controller settings
Data that is located in the NCU or in the controller PLC only and that cannot be
loaded to the hard disk without an archive file being created should also be backed
up using the auto archive function.
This includes data from the following areas:

GUD data

TEAdata

R parameters

Work offsets

Compensation data

Option data

Setting data
You are advised not to back up all of the data in the areas above. Instead, only
data that could change during operation should be backed up in an archive file.
Data generated automatically by setting devices or tool offsets does not need to be
backed up.
Data that has a fixed directory on the hard disk of the controller and that, if
necessary, can also be loaded from the NC to the hard disk does not need to be
backed up in this way either. It is better to archive this data via the standard auto
archive function for unpacked data. This includes the following data and directories:
MPF.DIR
SPF.DIR
WCS.DIR
CUS.DIR
CMA.DIR
CST.DIR
