A manual backup is another way to organize a one-time event.
A ProvisioningNwExt component is configured and in your NiagaraNetwork. You have super user permissions in the Supervisor station.
- Right-click ProvisioningNwExt and
click
The system automatically adds the Backup Stations step
(for every station), and stores the backup .dist file for each on
the
Supervisor, using this path:
^provisioningNiagara/stationData/stationName/backups/backup_stationName_timestamp.dist
where
stationName is the name of the station processed
in the step.
timestamp is the job’s start time,
formatted as YYYYMMDD_HHmmss.sss.
- To view the .dist files, navigate to the provisioningNiagara subfolder on the Supervisor station.
The resulting backup files are encrypted and require credentials
to restore.
