About Sedona device backups and app gets

Using the Sedona Tools under each networked Sedona device in a JACE station (or Supervisor station), you can backup each Sedona device, as well as “get” the app running in the device. For related details, see the Sedona Framework TXS Sedona Tools Guide.

Sedona Tools under a networked Sedona device save backup and app files to station’s file space

As shown in Figure B.9 above, when you perform such a Sedona device backup (using the Backup/Restore Tool) or “get” a device’s app (using the Application Manager), the resulting backup.zip file or app.sax file is saved in that running station’s file space, in the following folders:

Similarly, you can use the Sedona Tools under a networked device to restore such a saved backup, or “put” such a saved app back on a device.

Therefore, a JACE station backup can capture the complete configuration of that JACE controller, including all Sedona devices networked under it (as well as that JACE’s Sedona environment files).

NoteTo ensure that Sedona device backups are included, you must edit some BackupService properties in the host’s station from default values. See Editing the station’s BackupService.
