Restoring backup

    I don't have a ton of fanuc experience, so bear with me.

    Recently, I tried to upload from roboguide to my SR-6iA with a R-30iB Plus controller. I followed this ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t88ivw7T7hU ) tutorial, and used a USB with the following files uploaded:

    • DIOCFGV.IO
    • NUMREG.VR
    • POSREG.VR
    • SYSFRAME.SV
    • FRAMEVAR.VR
    • a .TP file

    I did a controlled start of the robot, plugged the USB in, and set the device to the USB in the TP in the File menu. When I went to load the files, I was pretty sure it worked, but then I couldn't do a cold start as was advised in the tutorial. I kept getting a pop up saying "SW Install Requires AutoUpdate", but then when I tried running the AUTOUPDT.CM file the TP would freeze.

    Today, in an attempt to just revert everything back to how it was before I tried to upload from roboguide, I plugged in the USB that came with the robot with the software loaded on it. I did a "full software install" from the boot screen, picked "previous profile" or something along those lines (the other option was SR-6iA [...] but I didn't know which one to pick), plugged in my USB with a backup, and tried to restore but got the message "directory is not processed". I was under "all files" in the folder that had the backup I wanted to use, but I just couldn't get it to load.

    Any advice? I've been reading a little bit about mastering and have a feeling I messed something up by not moving the robot to a home position (?) before doing all of this. I just want it to go back to how it was:loudly_crying_face: as always, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Did you load the backdate.dt file from your robot into your Roboguide cell when you were creating the project? If not it is possible that you have a newer version of Roboguide than what your physical robot has.

    If you try and load the backdate.dt file from your robot into your Roboguide's current workcell and re-serialize the Roboguide robot does it give you a version error?

    Do not select the previous profile; select SR-6iA. Not sure if that's your whole problem but the software install quick start guide is pretty insistent that select the profile that matches your robot model.
