About SU90 software backup and restore
Once the configuration and testing have been finalized, you must back up the configuration data and software installation. Your backup will then include the operating system, the SU90 software, as well as all the interface parameters that you have defined. Software backup is provided using dedicated software applications and commercial storage devices.
A backup image is a very useful feature. It allows you to create and save a complete copy of all the files on the Processor Unit. Once a backup image exist, you can use it to restore the entire content of the hard disk in the event of a failure.
The software used is Acronis True Image. This application is created by Acronis. For more information about this company and their products, see their website:

The backup and restore operations can be done with the following applications:
Boot application
You must use this restore functionality if you are unable to start the Processor Unit from the C-disk. You need the bootable USB flash drive provided with the SU90 system. You can also use any commercial USB flash drive. It must be formatted as a bootable device by the Acronis True Image program.
A complete backup requires a large data storage device. A standard USB flash drive may not have the required storage capacity. You can then use a USB hard disk.
Desktop application
The desktop application offers the easiest way to do backup and restore operations. Place the backup files on the "D" drive.
A backup made with desktop application can be restored using the boot application.
It is also possible to place the backup files on a USB storage device. A standard USB flash drive may not have the required storage capacity. You can then use a USB hard disk.
