Backup and Restore Procedure

This procedure describes the best practice of backing up and restoring all necessary project files, in the event a controller replacement occurs.

Required Equipment

To perform this procedure, the following items need to be connected to the controller: 

• Keyboard

• Mouse

• Monitor

• External storage device

Realtime Controller Backup

1. Open a terminal

2. Navigate to the folder where you want to save the backup. For example: cd Documents/

3. Run the following command: sudo rtr-controller-state -o archive.zip

4. Save the archive.zip file in the external storage device.

This command will capture the current state of the RTR Controller and save it as a .zip file in the location you were when executing it. The archive.zip file will include:

• Complete Toolkit Projects (URDFs are included here as well)

• Control Panel configuration (project settings and deconfliction groups)

• RapidSense configuration (calibration and configuration)

Restoring Project

After a controller replacement, connect the external storage device and copy the archive.zip file to the new controller, for example in the Documents folder.

1. Open a terminal

2. Navigate to the folder where archive.zip file is: in our example, cd Documents/

3. Run the following command: sudo rtr-controller-state -i archive.zip

Load the RapidPlan Control Panel and verify all parameters documented from the old controller.
