Backup of remanent/retain data?

Hello,

I have a machine running at a customer where I have - of course - some data I always have to know and I put in the remanent memory. Normally that is all good, but I'm not sure what happened, but we had some kind of PLC crash and all the data was lost 😞
Lucky for me, most parameters I wrote down in an excel file and we can recover from there. But how can I actually save those data of my ctrlx?

If I may "switch PLCs": If I use Beckhoff/Twincat, I know where in the PLC-folder I can find the file that is used to save the data. I can take that file, copy it on my PC/network/cloud/... and if really something happens I just copy it back!

Is there something like that for the ctrlx?

There is a "full" backup/restore function directly on the ctrlx core. But I'm not sure what exactly it saves. Would remanant data be included there? Then I could go that direction. Even if it is the "whole thing". A backup "just" of the remanent memory would be nicer!

Any ideas or links to how-tos? Didn't find anything, but maybe I missed something!

Thanks in advance!
greetings

See general information about Backup/Restore in our online docunemtation. There is already mentioned, what is inside while creating the backup itself:

See general information about Setup in our online docunemtation. There is already mentioned and you can choose, what is inside while creating the Setup itself. The chooseability will increase in the coming versions:

Your PLC retain data are stored in a file (<name of application>.ret) in the active configuration (appdata) and will be saved and restored with it:

Another method would be to use the recipe management tool of the PLC runtime. See online documentation.
