Replacing the storage media

For new storage media, please contact your Beckhoff Sales only.
Chapter 7.2 Maintenance [} 39] shows how to access the storage media.
Data transmission 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. Then you can restore the
created image to a new data carrier. 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 are designed for particularly long data preservation by means of special
flash. 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.
