Using the Sedona Project Backup and Restore Utility

July 2014 - Contemporary Controls has made available the Sedona Project Backup and Restore utility program (BASbackup) which provides a convenient way of saving a BAScontrol20 project to a desktop or laptop computer. With the BAScontrol20, a project consists of the following files:

• Sedona Framework binary application file (app.sab.target)
• Sedona Framework source application file (app.sax)
• BAScontrol20 configuration file (bas_cfg.xml)
• BAScontrol20 web component file (webc.xml)

These files are sufficient to completely backup a BAScontrol20 project without the need of a Workbench tool. Although Sedona files can be backed up and restored using the Workbench tool using the Get and Put commands, the BAScontrol20 configuration and web component configurations are ignored. Therefore the Sedona Project Backup and Restore utility is the best and simplest way to store BAScontrol20 projects. The BASbackup program is applicable to BAScontrol20 firmware of 3.0.28 and later.
