FASBacCNC  This front-end application from Fanuc America Corp. interfaces with Fanuc's FASConnect server for file browsing, scheduling and backup operations for Fanuc CNCs.  

What's new?  The automatic backup feature. Flexible scheduling allows automatic backup to take place hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. Users also can manually schedule backup. Files that can be backed up include CNC parameters; custom macros and variables; part programs; tool offsets; and work piece coordinate system offsets.

Benefits  Security and cost savings. FASBacCNC automatically backs up CNC files to a remote network server, preventing the potentially expensive loss of critical files following a hardware failure or operator mistake.
