Safeguard Your Data with Niagara Recover
Niagara Recover™ is a cloud subscription service for data backup and recovery that saves you time and effort. No more rebuilding graphics, alarms, histories, analytics, and users each time you restore a Niagara 4 device! No more worrying about local storage capacity!
Niagara Recover, another service in the Niagara Cloud Suite™, helps Niagara Framework® users safeguard their deployments from data loss. It maintains a current copy of Niagara station data in the event of a planned or unplanned outage that would otherwise interrupt operations and/or continuity of data collection. With a Niagara Recover subscription, users can achieve seamless, secure and scalable backups of Niagara to the cloud and access backups at their convenience.

NIAGARA RECOVER PREREQUISITES
