# Plant from backup

You can search for a plant by entering the backup file or clicking the button and selecting a file from a dialog box.

Note

You can only use a backup file created by ACRON Plant Backup.

### Identification <a href="#identifikation" id="identifikation"></a>

Make sure the name is unique, so as to ensure proper identification. It may be a unique short form. This identifier is key when linking data from different plants, for example, and is required as a parameter in many instances.

### Plant data path <a href="#anlagen-datenpfad" id="anlagen-datenpfad"></a>

The path location where ACRON places all base data.

This path contains all the relevant data (process values, configuration data, etc.) of a plant. A backup of all the files in this path, including all the files in all subfolders, represents a full backup of the plant (Designer/ Plant management/Back up plant).

This path is selected when the plant is created. Unlike the compression path, it cannot be changed subsequently.

{% hint style="info" %}
Attention

The path should be located on a local drive, though not in the ACRON installation location. The data and compression paths should not be subfolders of the other path. It is not advisable to place files manually in this location or in any of its subfolders.
{% endhint %}

### Compression path <a href="#kompressionspfad" id="kompressionspfad"></a>

The path location where ACRON stores all restorable compression files and other temporary files.

These files are needed to compress the data (day, month, year,...). These data can be repeatedly generated from the available origin data but, depending on the volume of data, that may take hours.

{% hint style="info" %}
Attention

The path should be located on a local drive, though not in the ACRON installation location. The data and compression paths should not be subfolders of the other path. It is not advisable to place files manually in this location or in any of its subfolders.
{% endhint %}

Note

A new or changed directory location for the compression path is only set up after logging out and back in to the plant or restarting the Designer.
