Hi,
I am not able to take automatic backup from Kuka Backup manager with version 8.3.32.It only works when i take backup manually.
Does anybody has an idea?
is it possible that taking an automatic backup is not possible in this version?

Maybe... Don’t know specifics for that kss version but you should also be able to force backup using IO. Then you can trigger it every 5min or 5 years if you like.

Hi, panic mode! I search the solution for the same issue.
Can you say if it needed to install additional software like 'kuka backup manager? I wonder to find the signal description for start process of making backup.I have found the logic making backup VKR C4 VSS8.2 from external signal (from PLC).
If I change $APP_INT[6] form 0 to 1 - making of the backup to network folder starts.
After the end of backing up process, this variable sets from 1 to 0 automatically.
I can't use this variable $APP_INT[n] (n can be from 1 to 20) to make backup. It doesn't works on KSS8.2.
I assume this variable declared in ProconOs (like $SoftPLCint[n] $SoftPLCreal[n] variables).
Can anybody tell me where and how I can configure ProconOs variables?
I want to understand how this variable ( $APP_INT[6] ) works ?

regardless of problem, it is always a good idea to check relevant documentation. the key documentation, including how to find it is listed in pinned topic READ FIRST. the very first of the key documents mentioned there is Programming Manual for System Integrators and it covers exactly what you are after. Btw i recommend everyone working with KUKA robots to do just that and get familiar with at least the few manuals listed there - even before running into a problem. Reading documentation for other products is interesting but sure way to spend a lot of time with little to no chance of finding what you are really looking for. so if you are dealing with KSS8.2, get documentation for KSS8.2. Not for VSS or Sunrise or who knows what... Stay focused on your product type and version.
For example, based on V7 manual from 2014 (KSS_82_SI_en.pdf), for automated backup you should check section:
7.9.5 Configuring backup and restoration
To do an automated backup at some regular interval check
7.9.5.1 “Backup configuration” tab
To trigger backup programmatically at any (random) interval, use IO as described in
7.9.5.2 “Signal interface” tab
