Configuring the system
2.5 Description of the actions
Options
If no further options are specified, the archive should represent a full backup and this should
be restored in full. The status of all files is therefore the same after the "restore" as it was at
the time of the backup.
● The -full option additionally forces the partition and the file system to be recreated on the
CompactFlash Card. This is, however, possible only from a service system. -full is
necessary if the partition table and/or file system is missing or damaged.
● However, if you want to restore the backup files without losing any files that have been
created in the meantime, you can use the "-nodelete" option to prevent them from being
deleted. "-nodelete" is not executed together with "-full", because all data is always deleted
when the file system is recreated.
● The -addon, -oem, -user, -addon+ and -oem+ options also allow only parts of an archive
to be unpacked.
● The -update option is used to load software updates supplied by Siemens. The -update
option can also be useful with -restart. If user-defined system files are changed when
loading the archive to the control, a cold restart or reinitialization is necessary. In such
cases, "sc restore" outputs an appropriate message at the end of the operation. The -restart
option causes the required action to be performed automatically.

Example:
sc save -user /tmp/drv01/backup.tgz
