However i can copy symbol file from old back up , but i dont know how to get the symbol description of data block (eg. db 126. dbx1.1). Pls clarify me.

Pls clarify me. If you have an old back just do a compare and upload the differences that way you won't lose your data block symbols or your symbol table unless the data blocks have changed

When you store project files on MMC you can be sure that anyone can have your full project with symbols
