Unlike control system hardware that is generally replaceable, your unique configuration and critical data are not.  You can protect your process control investment with the Critical Data Backup Application (CDBA) from the Process Solutions business of Emerson Process Management.   

The Critical Data Backup Application (CDBA) provides an automatic method for backing up critical data for DeltaV process control systems.  Control system critical data are actually assets that can contain years of work, experience, plant operations information, and process records.  Because the cost of data loss due to operator errors, accidental deletion, system or component failures, viruses and other threats is staggering, data protection, recovery and security are major concerns of any plant operation.  Critical Data Backup Application delivers a reliable method for automatically backing up data, improving data availability and security, minimizing data recovery costs, and providing business continuity.   

And, if your business is subject to government regulations, the Critical Data Backup Application provides a proven method for meeting 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for backup, recovery, and preservation of electronic records.  It also provides a method for protection of environmental data required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  The application includes sample documentation templates to assist with validating your Critical Data Backup Application to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or other regulatory compliance agencies.
