savvy Backup & Restore

While savvy is designed for stability and performance, saving your work frequently is a simple and effective way to safeguard your system — especially when working with complex projects.

Save it or Lose it

Regularly save your work to guard against unexpected data loss from power outages, disconnections or hardware failures.

Backup configuration files (with the extension “.dw-system”) store all key settings, including parameters, function blocks, connections, graphics, savvyPanel setups, and passwords.

Manage Your Backups

Multi-Device Backups

Typically, devices contained within a directory are backed up as a single system into one .dw-system file. To export this collective setup, you use the Directory > Devices > Export Data option.

Single Device Backups

For situations where you may only need the configuration of one device, you can export individual device data. Right-click the device and select Export Device Data.

Viewing Offline

If you wish to view the backup configuration file without being connected to the system, you can use Directory > Import Device Data and Create Phantoms. This allows you to analyze or manage your configuration offline.
