two files
• PE file, containing system boundaries, options, timers, alarm level setups

• To perform backup OM terminal must be locked to prevent from any change during the backup
• Each backup will create new PE/LL files in sequence in LBU, usually PE01Vx.POM,
LL01Vx.POM, which x is sequence number 1…9. Maximum 9 backups can be saved. After 9
backups has been reached, oldest PE/LL files will be overwritten by next backup.
