Backing up a station using Platform Administration

The Platform Administration view performs a complete backup of the connected controller, saved as a .dist
file on your PC. The backup dist contains the entire station folder, the specific NRE config used by the platform,
license(s), certificate(s), pointers to the appropriate NRE core, Java VM, modules, OS and the TCP/IP configu-
ration of the host.
Prerequisites: You are working in EC-Net 4 Pro and are connected to the Supervisor or remote controller.

The Platform Administration view opens.
Step 3 Click the Backup button.
If the station is running, EC-Net 4 Pro asks you to confirm that you intend to connect to the station to
back it up.
You can perform a backup with a station running on the target host, or when no station is running.
Step 4 If you choose to stop the station, click No, double-click the Application Director, select the station,
click Stop, then go back and click Platform Administration→Backup.
If no station is running on the controller, the platform daemon performs its own offline backup or you

In either case, the File Chooser window opens.
