Location of Backup Sets
Backup sets are stored in different locations for stand-alone systems and multi-server systems.
Multi Server System
In a multi-server system with an Enterprise Server and one or more automation servers, the backup sets are stored on the computer that runs the Enterprise server. The automation server also store its own backup set.
In a multi-server system with an Enterprise Central and one or more attached Enterprise Servers, the backup sets for the Enterprise Central are stored on the computer running the Enterprise Central. The backup sets for the attached Enterprise Servers are stored on the computers running the Enterprise Servers.
Using WorkStation, you can copy the backup set to a location other than the EcoStruxure BMS server.
For more information, see Copying a Backup Set to the Enterprise Server or Enterprise Central Local Directory .
In the Backup sets folder of the installation directory, two directories are created:
AS Archives : Lists separate subfolders that reflect the name of each automation server. Each subfolder contains the backup files for that automation server.
Local : Lists all the local backup files for the Enterprise Server and Enterprise Central.

Stand-alone System
In a stand-alone system the backup set is saved in the Smart Struxure server device. Using WorkStation, you can save the backup set to a location other than the automation server.
For more information, see Saving an Automation Server Backup Set to Another Location .
The automation server stores only one backup set at a time, so each new backup operation overwrites the previous backup set.
