Note
Archiving/data backup
It is recommended that you regularly back up the internal SINUMERIK memory on a USB stick.
You can transfer the backed up data to the SINUMERIK later on. In this way you can restore
the previous status of the unit.
You must perform an external data backup if you have made major data changes or after you
have commissioned the control system.

than from other paths. After creating a startup archive with option ③,
