Prerequisites:
-
Niagara 4 user role that permits access to the Cloud Backup Service's category
- Device is already registered in the
asset manager
- Connected to a running station, already configured for cloud connectivity
- Existing cloud backups
Perform the following steps:
- In the Cloud Backup Manager view, select the desired backup and click Download.
- In the Choose Backups Directory dialog, browse to select a directory on the local PC to store the downloaded backup, as shown.
- In the Download dialog, select the desired download option:
- Download encrypted (secure) EDIST file
- Download decrypted (non secure) DIST file
NOTE: In order to restore and decrypt a downloaded encrypted EDIST backup file you are prompted to provide the source station's
system passphrase. That would be the passphrase in use at the time the backup was created, which may not be the current passphrase.
The same is true when downloading an unencrypted DIST file (download and decrypt “on the fly”) you are prompted to provide
the source station's system passphrase in order for the download to complete.
On completion a Success dialog appears letting you know the file(s) were successfully downloaded.
