Backup and Restore RSLinx Enterprise topology?

Moving your physical layout (drivers and devices)​

If you are using the same RSLinx Enterprise software on the same computer for multiple
applications, adding device drivers to one application will make those same drivers
available to the other applications. There is no need to move hardware configurations
from one application to another.​

OVING FROM ONE COMPUTER TO ANOTHER

1. Shut down the RSLinx Enterprise service using the Windows Service Control Panel
on both the source and the target computers.
2. Use Windows Explorer to locate the file an RSLinxNG.xml file in the directory
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Rockwell\RSLinx Enterprise.
(This assumes you have not changed your documents and settings location and that
you installed Windows to the C:\ drive).
3. Copy the .xml file from the source computer to the target computer and restart the
computer hosting RSLinx Enterprise. This will effectively copy all the hardware
information you need. Note that you may not have the same drivers or same hardware
on the second computer, so this may not always be a wise decision. Your shortcuts are
also on the computer you copied to, but each one will need to be applied to the new
hardware configuration.
The RSLinxNG.xml file is application- and directory-indifferent. This means you can
move the file between computers from directory to directory and need only to reapply​

your shortcuts.
