Types of backups

  • Can someone explain the difference between fanuc's auto back up software (pc file services 2008) ,FTP back ups, and a local All of the above? Also FTP backups useable to restore? If so does the controller ignore the ascii formatted files? Working on getting away from file services 2008 and the new service is FTP

  • All of the above doesn't include ASCII. An FTP backup should work with the restore function, but usually I just send all files with FTP while the robot is in a controlled start if I need to do that and don't bother with the Fanuc restore.

    After you perform an all of the above backup, depending on the robot controller, you can also do an ascii backup from the same screen.
