3.2.3 Backing up OS project data
3.2.3.1 Backing up configuration data
Introduction
When you archive a multiproject, the configuration data of the PCS 7 operator station are
automatically included in the backup. A separate backup is not necessary.
Backing up OS configuration data
The configuration data for PCS 7 operator station are saved by default in the following
folder: ..\Siemens\WinCC\WinCCProjects.
Compress the current project paths in this folder as a backup and save the backup on a suitable
medium, such as a CD.
Backing up OS PC data
The OS configuration data are located on the PCS 7 engineering station. You should therefore
back up OS server PCs or OS client PCs to an image. You can find information on this in the
section "Backing up data by generating an image file (Page 31)".
