Details

This article describes one method for backing up and restoring a Wonderware System Platform galaxy by backing up all objects from the existing galaxy and then creating a new galaxy from the backed up data.

This method is not the preferred method as it does not maintain the galaxies security configurations or the application's script functions. This method can be used in the event of a corrupt galaxy and should be used as a final measure.

Step 1

Open your existing galaxy in the IDE. Click Galaxy and select Export | All Objects to backup the objects to be moved to the new galaxy.

Select the save location for the file, and wait for the export to complete.

Step 2

Once the export has completed click close. Close the IDE.

Reopen the IDE and click New Galaxy to create the new galaxy.

Select the appropriate GR node and galaxy type, then name your new galaxy. Click create.
