FAQ: What can I do when I run into a timeout while creating a project backup?

In the zenon6.ini file it is possible to define timeouts for database access and for backup creation. Maybe the default configuration is too low. This could happen when backing up more complex projects or if the project includes many graphics and symbols.

Please try to increase these timeouts by adding these two lines to your zenon6.ini file in the section [CONFIG] (add it if not present yet):

COMMANDTIMEOUT=300000
BACKUPRESTORETIMEOUT=600000

So database access of up to 5 minutes is allowed and BACKUPRESTORETIMEOUT of 10 minutes. Restart the Engineering Studio after adapting the zenon6.ini file!
