Do none of these Backup/Restore options bring in the Communication Shortcut-to-IP controller linkages?

[@ShaneWelcher]

They do on the new distribution archive if you use that

[@gailid]

@@ShaneWelcher Gotcha, for these, we're running FT 11.

[@ShaneWelcher]

@@gailid FTview 10/and above have the archive feature

[@gailid]

@@ShaneWelcher I’ve tried restoring from an archive via the Application Manager, but I still have to go in and add devices on the rslinx enterprise window, and then manually relink everything.

Hey there, so we had to change the name of our HMI Server (Factory Talk Server) We use a network distributed client and went in and updated the name, but after we try to run the client, we get FactoryTalk View SE Client Error "The client temporarily cannot connect to the factorytalk view SE server in teh Home are "/" because the server is not available. Any ideas on that?

[@ShaneWelcher]

Make sure you are using the latest edited HMI client

[@tuck7777]

@@ShaneWelcher what is the best way to do that. Sorry, a little new at factorytalk

[@ShaneWelcher]

@@tuck7777 If the HMI client doesn't work then edit the HMI client and point it to the correct HMI server name

[@ryanjobelgabudao8826]

is the steps different for local station? if yes what are the differences?

[@ShaneWelcher]

No, I use the same steps

[@akupadhyayula]

Excellent video to restore. I will be converting V7 to V12. Do you have best practices to create a backup as well?

[@ShaneWelcher]

Thank you, yes...here is the best practices for back up I use. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYLViYOgZs2Hodk

[@akupadhyayula]

@@ShaneWelcher I followed your steps. now I get "Failed to Instantiate HMIServer" message when I try to restore the HMI. Any tips? Thank you for your help

[@ShaneWelcher]

@@akupadhyayula make a HMI server with a new name then import.

[@akupadhyayula]
