Backup/Restore

Restore a Device

5min

You can restore a Manufacturing Connect Edge device from the backup.dat file you have stored on your local drive by navigating to System > Backup/Restore.

If you need to replace a damaged device, see Replace a Damaged Device.

There are two ways to restore a device:

  • Restore a device manually
  • Back up a device to the Cloud

Important

  • You should regularly back up Manufacturing Connect Edge. See Back Up a Device.
  • The backup can only be restored to the same device or to a replacement device.
  • The backup can only be restored to a device with the same license key.
  • The restore operation overwrites all configurations collected since the last backup.

Restore a Device Manually

To manually restore a device:

  1. In Manufacturing Connect Edge, navigate to System > Backup/Restore. The Backup/Restore pane appears.

  4. Click OK. Once restored, the Manufacturing Connect Edge device restarts with the configuration backed up on the selected file. When the device reboots, refresh the Manufacturing Connect Edge application.

Restore a Device from the Cloud

You have the option of restoring a device from the Cloud.

Tip: You can also restore a device from Manufacturing Connect from the Backup tab for the device details.

  • Make sure you have activated the device with Manufacturing Connect. See Activate an Edge Device for more information.

To restore a device from the cloud:
