Perform Restore

Please note the following information when restoring your data:

Restoration is only possible if the firmware versions are the same at the time of backup and restoration.
The restore process may take a few minutes. After the restore process, the device is restarted and is then ready for use again.
Please note that device data is overwritten according to the contents of the selected backup. If you change connection-related data (e.g., the IP address) after creating the backup, it may not be possible to establish a connection to the device during an automatic restart during the restore process.
Make sure you have the correct login details (username/password) for the device, as they may have changed.
Make sure that the device is physically accessible during and after the restore process: A network connection must be established via a suitable medium (e.g., cable, WLAN) for the entire duration of the restore process.
Make sure you have any changed IP addresses/device addresses/DHCP server addresses at hand.
Data recovery may fail if there is insufficient free memory on the device.

In the ribbon, click [Backup/Restore].
In the “Restore” area, select the source of your backup file.
If you select the file system as the source, a storage area is displayed.
Drag the backup file (*.7zip) to the storage area.
Alternatively, click [Browse] and select a backup file.
Under “Restore,” enter the password with which you have saved the backup file.
The file name of the selected backup file is displayed. Click [Choose another file] to change the backup file as needed.
To restore the data from the selected backup file, click [Start restore process].
The backup file is first loaded onto the device. The connection between the device and the engineering PC is terminated. The restore process, which can take about 20 minutes, then starts on the device. During this process, the WAGO Device Manager is only available in offline mode.
After the restore process, reconnect to the device.
Note that the device may be reachable at a different address if the network settings in the backup contains differ.
