Module „Backup and Restore“

Backup and Restore creates automatic backups during operation of the

plant to keep all process steps as effective as possible and protect the
archived data.

Even the increasing amount of cyber attacks and upcoming security Backup and Recovery
standards (e.g. NIS 2) make it unavoidable to integrate a fully supported
backup and restore solution.

WHY?
• prevent data loss
• increase availability
• deal with plant failures and
• restart production as fast as possible after critical
downtimes
 a holistic disaster recovery is needed.

Security Information

Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and
networks.​

In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a
holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.​

Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems, machines and networks. Such systems, machines and
components should only be connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and only when
appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.​

For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please visit https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity

Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product
updates are applied as soon as they are available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no longer
supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.​
