   1. In the Project field, the APJ file of the B&R project should be selected automatically. If this is not the case, select this file from the dropdown list.
   2. Use the Only the active configuration checkbox to specify whether only the active configuration or all possible connection paths to a PLC are to be taken into account during job execution.
   3. In the Excluded BR files field, specify certain files that are not to be taken into account during job execution, for example, because they are created dynamically at runtime and thus always lead to differences.
7. Save the job and execute it.

The result (the backup) is suitable for detailed comparison as well as for disaster recovery and further processing.
