Backup file
● The backup file is saved in the following directory as standard:

● The backup file has the following name:
<'Site' name>_<backup counter>(_incomplete).fsc
Example: Test_Site_007_incomplete.fsc
– 'Site' name: Name of the 'Site'.
– Backup counter: Three-digit number that is automatically assigned to each
backup.
– 'incomplete': If it was not possible to create a complete backup, 'incomplete'
is added to the file name.
● A maximum of ten 'Site' backup files are saved. If more than ten backup files
are created, the oldest file is automatically overwritten with the new one.

time a configuration is loaded from the PC to the ↑ 'Station' using the 'Download
site' command. To do this, select 'Options' > 'Preferences' > 'Commissioning'.
