Backing up and restoring data
Introduction
The CFast card (included in the scope of delivery) contains the operating system, the runtime
software and the restore area.
To prevent loss of data and be able to restore the contents of the CFast card at any time,
create a USB restore stick (Page 68).
If you use functions from the Restore menu, you must acknowledge a security message. For
the functions, 72 hours are available in each case. If the functions are not completed within
this time period, CPU 1515SP PC2 is automatically restarted without a further prompt.
If you want to back up your projects, save them to the D: partition of the CFast card.
SIMATIC IPC Image & Partition Creator
You can also create your own image of your CFast card. This contains the operating system, the
Runtime software and the complete project loaded from the TIA Portal.
We recommend the SIMATIC IPC Image & Partition Creator (≥ V3.5) software tool to back
up data under Windows. It provides for easy backup and fast restore of the contents of the
CFAST card and of individual partitions (images).
Note
Data can only be backed up to a network drive with the SIMATIC IPC Image & Partition Creator
software using the X2 PN/IE(LAN) interface.
You can procure the SIMATIC IPC Image & Partition Creator:
• Via the Siemens online ordering system.
• Pre-installed on the SIMATIC IPC Service USB flash drives.
For additional information, please refer to the corresponding product documentation.
SIMATIC IPC Service USB flash drive
You can use the SIMATIC IPC Service USB flash drives for data backup and restore.
You obtain these through the Siemens online ordering system.

Creating a bootable Restore USB stick
As no restore USB stick is included in the scope of delivery, we recommend creating a USB restore
stick to restore the CFast card after commissioning the Open Controller.
You will also find the restore image on the CFast card in partition E:.
