<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Overview ==<br />
The entire database, or memory, of the TCS command station can be backed up or restored using a computer. The database includes information such as the Roster Entries, Consists (members), and Macros. <br />
<br />
This page will instruct you on how to create a database backup, as well as how to restore a saved backup. These instructions assume you have already created a JMRI profile for the device you want to backup/restore. <br />
<br />
If you are looking for instructions on how to export and import roster entries between JMRI and a TCS Command Station, please refer to the [https://www.jmri.org/help/en/html/hardware/openlcb/TCS.shtml JMRI Help Article] on the subject. <br />
<br />
== Creating a Database Backup ==<br />
Follow these steps to create a backup of your command station's database. <br />
<br />
# Power on the device you would like to backup and connect it to your computer. For a CS-105, you may use a wired LCC connection or a WiFi connection.<br />
# Open JMRI Panel Pro and select the correct profile for this device and connection mode<br />
# Select "Memory Tool" from the LCC menu<br />
# In the Memory Tool window, use the drop-down box to select the correct device (CS-105 or LT-50)<br />
# In the Memory Tool window, change the "Memory Space:" to 80<br />
# Press the "Get.." button<br />
# In the window that appears, set a file name and location to save the file to<br />
<br />
After the database is done being read, the database will be saved to the location you selected as a ".bin" file.<br />
<br />
== Restoring a Database Backup ==<br />
Follow these steps to use an existing backup to overwrite your command station's database.<br />
<br />
# Power on the device you would like to backup and connect it to your computer. For a CS-105, you may use a wired LCC connection or a WiFi connection. <br />
# Open JMRI Panel Pro and select the correct profile for this device and connection mode<br />
# Select "Memory Tool" from the LCC menu<br />
# In the Memory Tool window, use the drop-down box to select the correct device (CS-105 or LT-50)<br />
# In the Memory Tool window, change the "Memory Space:" to 80<br />
# Press the "Put.." button<br />
# In the window that appears, select the saved .bin file you would like to restore<br />
<br />
After a few moments, the database file you selected will be completely restored.</div>Dan Mycio
