FreeWave Tool Suite

LUM0030AB Rev C

Data Backups

As you work in Tool Suite, the items you create, such as networks and radio templates, are saved in the

ToolSuite.sdf file. In version 2.8.5, you can create a backup copy of this file and save it to any location on your

computer or network. Backing up your data ensures that you always have a copy of your network and device

settings in the event of a computer malfunction.

Tool Suite prompts you to create a data backup seven days after the last backup was completed.

After you have upgraded to version 2.8.5, any future upgrades make an automatic backup copy of your

ToolSuite.sdf (all Configuration application data), ModPoller.sdf (all Modbus Interface data), and cprmu.sdf

(all CPData Logger data) files in the the C:\Program Files\FreeWave Technologies\Freewave Suite\backups

directory.

To back up your ToolSuite data manually:

1. From the File menu, select Back Up Data to display the Select Backup File dialog box.

2. Navigate to the directory where you want to save the backup file.

By default, the system displays the C:\Program Files\FreeWave Technologies\Freewave

Suite\backups directory and the file name is ToolSuite.sdf<date and time stamp>.bak. FreeWave

recommends accepting the default file name.

3. Click Save to save the file.

Note: You cannot manually back up data from the Modbus Interface or CPData

Logger applications within ToolSuite at this time.

To restore ToolSuite data from a backup copy:

Note: Restoring data from a backup copy completely replaces the current Tool Suite

data with the data in the backup file. FreeWave recommends saving a backup

copy of the current Tool Suite data prior to restoring from a backup.

1. In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Program Files\FreeWave Technologies\Freewave Suite\backups

and locate the ToolSuite.sdf<date and time stamp>.bak file with the date and time stamp from

1 2 ... 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 ... 109 110
