Restoring projects
When a device fails or octoplant detects any unauthorized program changes during a routine job execution, rapid disaster recovery should be carried out. You have two options:
-
Restoring using a Backup
In most cases this option is preferable because each job execution that is carried out has the potential to serve as a backup and, as a result of this, the latest version is always available.
-
Restoring using a version
This option can be an alternative if there are no backups and, before the disaster recovery, the version on the controller was identical to the version in octoplant.
Restoring using a backup
- In UserClient, select the component.
-
In component details, go to Jobs and click on the job that you want to use to restore the backup.
- Select the backup by either right-clicking on it or selecting it and then going to the ribbon and clicking on Copy backup to directory.
- Select the directory that you want to copy the backup to.
-
Open the backup with the corresponding Editor.
- Carry out a restoration according to the manufacturer specifications.
Restoring using a version
If a version containing the project data was stored on the octoplant server, you can use it to restore the device. Proceed as follows:
- In the UserClient, select the component of the project that you wish to restore.
- Check out the version of the component that you want to restore.
- Open the project with the corresponding editor.
- Carry out a restoration according to the manufacturer specifications.
