Backups of Advant AC450 / AC410
How to take complete source code backup of AC450 and AC410 Controllers. We have been taking backups using DUAP command in Online Builder. Is this sufficient, or we need to use DUPCS and DUDBS also?
Voted best answer
With the Duap command you create a "image" of the memory. This is enough for the most scenarios. But if you have fatal errors in controller or your user disk is demaged the last way to restore all is to load the source code.
Thats why I recommend from time to time to make source code dumps with DUDBS and DUPCS. You also need this source code files to transfer your database and programs to the Control Builder.

In addition to the answer and comments, also sometimes make a dudbs with the /output option which records current values of paramaters. Also it's good to make a screeshot or make a note on paper of the settings from the dimpc, dimdb and mstabs commands, you will need those values if you ever need to use the source code to reload the node.
