Rapid code to generate a backup.

I want to have my robot automaticaly generate a system backup. Is there rapid instructions for this that I can add to my main program? I don’t need to backup to a network drive, simply adding it to the default backup directory on the controller will sufice.

Hello,
That functionality is not available right now, but there is a new function in RobotWare 5.13 that does this. Robotware5.13 will be released in Q2 this year, so please be patient!

I downloaded 5.13 and interested in the rapid backup function. Do you know where I can find exaples or literature on this?

System Input/Output for Backup

A new System Input called Backup is available from RW5.13. When a digital I/O signal connected to the System Input Backup is set a backup will be started. Name, path and an argument telling if the backup name shall be unique or overwritten, must be configured.

A new System Output called Backup in progress is available from RW5.13. The digital I/O signal connected to the System Output Backup in progress will be set while a backup is in progress.

A new System Output called Backup Error is available from RW5.13. The digital I/O signal connected to the System Output Backup Error when the system detects a backup failure.
