Creating a backup of a tag definition
User can create backups of individual tag definitions, which will include all the ID's. This can be used to for example create backups of tags which are to be kept in case of a factory reset is done. Or if the database is to be moved to a different server.
After a tag definition has been restored, it is also possible to play back corresponding tag data.
User can do this either by using applications such as:
- Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
- MSSQL CLI
This can also be used for building custom solutions based on applications which allow for an ODBC connection such as:
- Excel
- C#
- .Net
- Python
