Important Update Notice: Secure Your Project and System
Before proceeding with an update of the OPC Router, it is crucial to ensure the security of your project data and system configurations. We strongly recommend adhering to the following steps:
- Project Backup: Backup all of your OPC Router projects. Export the configurations and save them in a secure location. This step ensures that in case of complications during the update process, you can revert to the original settings and configurations.
- System Backup: In addition to project backup, it is advisable to backup the entire system. Utilize standardized IT mechanisms such as VM snapshots or other system backup solutions available in your infrastructure. A complete system backup enables you to perform a full restoration to the state before the update in case of emergencies, ensuring operational continuity and data integrity.
By taking these precautions, you minimize the risk of data loss and system failures that may occur during or after the update process. Your diligence in this phase supports a smooth transition to the new features and enhancements of the OPC Router and protects your investments in your automation solutions.
