OT Backup Documentation
Welcome to the OT Backup documentation. This guide covers configuring, operating, and setting up OT Backup to backup and restore your operational technology (OT) equipment — PLCs, robot controllers, and other automation devices.
It is written for end users who run backups day to day and for integrators who install and configure the application.
