Backups

In order to prevent major data loss it is recommended to do frequent data backups. Data backups will contain the following content:

• Models (.stl, .dae) from the Scenario Manager
• Database backup
• Datastore contents
• Installed programs
• Vision calibration, images, ...
• Quick poses and quick programs
• TCPs
• Logs
