When you open Intouch (Application Manager), your application directories
should be listed. That (those) directory (directories), will contain all
your application files. If none are listed, select Tools > Find Applications,
and intouch will find the Application(s) for you. The files will be located
in the directory Path. An Intouch application can contain hundreds of files.
Go to your application directory in Explorer and copy all of the files contained
in it. Those files are your backup. Always recall those files to the same
application directory they were created in. If you open the application on
another computer running Intouch, create the same directory path on that
computer and copy all the files to it. You should be logged on as an administrator
when you perform these functions.
You can copy and paste these statements into a batch file to reduce the
size of the application, Wonderware will recreate these files when you
restart the application. Name the newly created batch file _clean.bat
and place it in your application files directory. You can execute
_clean.bat prior to copying the application files for backup.
