Editing the station’s BackupService

Perform the following on the BackupService of any AX-3.7 or later station running any type of Sedona Network to ensure Sedona device backups are collected.

To edit the station’s BackupService to collect Sedona device backups

  1. Using Workbench, open the station and expand the Config > Services node.

  2. Open the BackupService property sheet. (right-click BackupService, select Views->Property Sheet).



  3. For both properties Exclude Files and Offline Exclude Files, change the portion of string value from:

    *backup* to be instead: *backup*.dist (as shown above), and click Save.

    This will allow default Sedona device backupYYYYMMDD.zip files to be backed up. In the case of a Supervisor station, this also prevents Niagara provisioning backups from being (redundantly) backed up.

  4. Save the station. (right-click the station in the Nav tree and select Save Station).

For related details on a station’s BackupService, refer to NiagaraAX User Guide sections “backup-BackupService” and “backup-Backup Manager”.
