With the RESTORE-SOURCE command you can restore an archive of an Apax project from the SD card of a SIMATIC PLC and recreate the project folder. The project had been stored to the SD card with the command STORE-SOURCE.

NOTES

  • If the archive was created with a password to encrypt the archive, you must provide the same password with the option --zip-password.
  • If the project folder is already existing, you should use the --force option to replace the project completely.
    Only the folders .apax and .git are preserved: The first one to reduce the data loaded by the apax install command, the second folder to allow Git to detect changes between the latest and the archived version.
    All other parts are completely deleted and recreated from the archive to avoid a mixture with the previous content.
