SDA’s automated backup is secure, non-intrusive, and can be scheduled to periodically check for changes and create new versions. You can manage backups of your MELSEC control systems across all your plants from a single pane of glass, and in the event of a disruption or security incident, you can restore backups from a specific point in time, reducing recovery time to minutes.
With Software Defined Automation Version Control, you can see the four W’s (who, what, when, and why) for every change made and easily roll back to a previous version if necessary.
