Restoring Projects

Projects can be restored from the page navigator and from the project management.

As standard, all master data is restored on a project basis and then finally compared with the master data pool. If differences exist, then you must decide which data you wish to use.

  1. From the page navigator, select the menu items Project > Restore > Project, or from the Project management dialog select [Organize] > Restore.
  2. Use the [...] button in the Backup directory field in the dialog Restore project to select the directory in which the backed up projects are located.

    The backed up projects contained in the selected directory are displayed in the Projects list.

    If the directory contains split backup files, only the *.000.zw1 file is displayed, the other backup files belonging to the same project (*.001.zw1, *.002.zw1, etc.) are not shown.
  3. Select the project(s) you wish to restore. Multiple selection is possible.
  4. Use the [...] button in the Target directory dialog to select the target directory to where the data backup should be restored.
  5. If you have only selected a single project, in the Project name field you can change the name of the project to avoid overwriting an existing project.
  6. Confirm your entries.

    The data from the swap file is copied to the specified project directory. If several projects were selected, then these are restored one after the other.

When restoring, EPLAN checks to see if the project already exists and if it can be overwritten.

The following differences should be noted:
