Good day,

My question is, is it possible to archive backup data onto an external hard drive automatically with the following hardware? I know the size of the USB device is irrelevant as long as the format and partitioning are correct. We do manual backups on a regular basis on our machines. I can find no information on whether archiving can be set up to do automatically or not.

We have an OP-15 with attached thin client TCU 20.2 with a MCP-483C, an 840D SL, and a NCU 720.3

Hi,

Siemens work with solution partner AUVESY GmbH who have a product called "versiondog". This carries out automated backups across a large range of vendors including Siemens and specifically Sinumerik.
