2.7.12 Data backup
For data backup, HEIDENHAIN offers the PC software TNCbackup free of
charge. TNCbackup provides convenient functions for backing up and
restoring data. TNCbackup is part of the TNCremoNT software package and
can be downloaded from the HEIDENHAIN file base on the Internet.

HEIDENHAIN recommends that the machine manufacturer use the
TNCbackup software to save all his machine-specific data and to supply
them with the machine (e.g. on CD-ROM). To do so, use the PC software
TNCremoNT to set up a connection with the PLC partition (drive O:) of the
control and, in the Extras/Backup menu, start the TNCbackup software. In
TNCbackup, under "File/Scan file list," select the "Scan directory tree" function
to display and mark all directories and subdirectories of the PLC partition. With
"Run/Backup" you can back up all marked files in the current file list. Before
starting, TNCbackup asks you for the name of the backup file to be saved. In
addition to the actual backup file *.BCK, the file list *.LST is saved. For a
backup to be restored, the *.BCK file and the associated *.LST file must be
located in the same folder.
The customer, too, should save his data before exchanging the control. It is
also advisable that the customer save all of the files and programs created on
the control at regular intervals on a PC. The CD-ROM supplied with the
machine should therefore also contain the current version of TNCremoNT.
