7.2.2
Replacing the storage media
New storage media should only be obtained from Beckhoff Service (see Chapter 10.1 Service and support).
Data transfer before replacement
If you want to exchange a storage medium according to Beckhoff's recommendation, you must copy the data
from the old to the new storage medium. You can use the Beckhoff Service Tool (BST) for this purpose. BST
is a graphical backup and restore program for PCs with a Windows operating system. You can create an
image of your operating system and use it to back up the operating system. You can then restore the images
created in this way. The BST is available on a bootable BST USB flash drive. This includes Windows and a
backup software. Select the size of the BST USB flash drive according to the size of the backup copy of your
operating system. You can then keep the flash drive as a backup copy. For this purpose, the BST USB flash
drives with SLC flash are designed for a particularly long data preservation. For more information on the
function of the BST, please refer to the corresponding manual.
If your storage medium is defective and there is no backup, Beckhoff Service can provide you with a fresh
Windows image. For this to be possible, the Beckhoff PC must already have been shipped with a valid
operating system license. When installing the fresh image, the applications must be reinstalled.
