Local Backup – Halocline Helpdesk

In Halocline, you have the option to create backup copies of your entire data set. This prevents data loss in case a problem occurs. A backup copy is also useful if you want to transfer your data completely from one computer to another.

Scope of the Backup Copy

Halocline Assembly CAD Files
Shopfloors with all contents of the Workspaces and Variants (incl. previous versions)
Motion Recordings from Performance
Exports and Reports
Halocline Layout & Performance Settings
Notes
Library Elements
KLTs
Grasping Spaces

Note: Before creating or restoring your backup copy, make sure that the same Halocline version is installed on the computer as the one used when the backup was created. The same applies if you want to share your backup copy with another person.

Manage Backup Copies

Backup copies are managed in the Info menu. To do this, click Info (red arrow) and the Data tab.

1. Create

In the window that opens, select a storage location and click the Create button. Depending on the amount and size of the data, the process may take several minutes.

2. Restore

Warning: Before restoring your backup copy, make sure that no newer data will be lost. Restoring a previously saved backup copy will completely and irreversibly overwrite the current data state.

In the Restore Backup window, select the storage location of the backup copy you want to restore. All backup copies created in Halocline use the *.halobak file format.

To continue, type the word RESTORE in the field below for confirmation and click the Replace button.
