Backup And Recovery Of The Hard Disk - ABB FlexLoader Vision Product Manual

12.2 Backup and recovery of the hard disk

Introduction
This section describes how to backup and restore the entire FlexLoader Vision PC
hard disk.
The backup can be used to restore the PC in case of a hard disk failure. Backups
are normally made after an initial system installation and after major system changes
(e.g. upgrades).
The normal file backup function should be used for continuous backup of
FlexLoader Vision working data. A complete hard disk recovery is only to be
performed by trained personal that is authorized to handle backup and restore
operations.
The backup and restore tool used here is Redo Backup, which is available under
the GNU public license, but any other tool for hard disk imaging can be used.
Backup
To perform a backup, turn off the computer and put the backup USB in an available
USB port (preferably the USB3 port).
Enter the boot device manager by pressing Esc when the startup screen is shown.
If the computer boots into Windows, you need to restart and try again.
Select Boot manager.
