Dear Friend, To make a full backup of hard disk of your workstation, follow the following steps with a tape drive connected to your station. 1. Insert a suitable tape cartridge in your tape drive. 2. Change environment to Process_Eng or Soft_Eng. Then go to SftMnt and choose Shutdown. 3. During shutdown when prompted for password type gnomes as password to go to single user mode. Now at single user mode type the following. 01AW01# fsck -y when fsck process is completed type the following at the prompt. 01AW01# backup when prompted for various types of backups press Enter to dump all partitions. Now dump is started. When dump backup is complete, type the following at prompt 01AW01# reboot Your system will now boot automatically.Now remove your backup tape from the tape drive and store it at suitable place. Do the same for each station. You can find backup and restore procedures in detail in your FoxDoc Electronic Documentation CD sent to you by Invensys with your Foxboro software package. As far as commit disk is concerned it is same for all stations AW/WP. To make a new commit youneed to use System Definition software.
