10 System archives
A System Archive is a snapshot of the system's custom screens, configuration, and optionally
the event logs, fault reports, and wave forms. The archive is used to reconf igure a system,
putting it back to a known state. It is important to have a valid System Archive at all times.
An archive is created and shipped to the System Administrator when the switchgear ships from
the factory. The archive may be installed in a Remote HMI application allowing users to pre-
program protection settings prior to th e switchgear arrival.
Archives are recommended at the followin g events:
•At switchgear startup, once the system settin gs have been programmed and tested.
•Periodically throughout the life of the switchgear – for example prior to summer shutdown
each year.
