How to Backup and Restore Map Information from Conga Robot

Follow these steps to backup and restore the mapping information of your Conga robot using SCP (Secure Copy Protocol).

1. Backup Map Information

For Mac/Linux Users:

Use the following SCP command to copy map data from your Conga robot to your local computer:

scp -rp -o HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -o PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -O 'root@<CONGA_IP_ADDRESS>:/mnt/UDISK/log/' '/path/to/local/backup/'

Note: "-O" Option may error if you have an old ssh client, remove it if it does.

Replace:

  • <CONGA_IP_ADDRESS> with your robot's IP address (e.g., 192.168.xxx.xxx).
  • /path/to/local/backup/ with the local folder path where you want to store the backup (e.g., /Users/yourusername/Documents/CongaBackup).

For Windows Users:

Use an SCP-compatible tool such as WinSCP or PuTTY's PSCP.

Example using PSCP in Windows Command Prompt:

pscp -r -scp -o HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -o PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa root@<CONGA_IP_ADDRESS>:/mnt/UDISK/log/ C:\path\to\local\backup\

Replace:

  • <CONGA_IP_ADDRESS> with your robot's IP address.
  • C:\path\to\local\backup\ with your preferred Windows backup location.

2. Restore Map Information

For Mac/Linux Users:

To restore previously backed-up map data to your Conga robot, run:

scp -rp -o HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -o PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa /path/to/local/backup/* -O 'root@<CONGA_IP_ADDRESS>:/mnt/UDISK/log/'

Replace:

  • /path/to/local/backup/* with the path to your backup folder (e.g., /Users/yourusername/Documents/CongaBackup/*).
  • <CONGA_IP_ADDRESS> with your robot's IP address.

For Windows Users:

Example using PSCP:

pscp -r -scp -o HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -o PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa C:\path\to\local\backup\* root@<CONGA_IP_ADDRESS>:/mnt/UDISK/log/

Replace:

  • C:\path\to\local\backup\* with your local backup folder location.
  • <CONGA_IP_ADDRESS> with your robot's IP address.

Notes:

  • Ensure your Conga robot and computer are on the same local network.
  • You will be prompted to enter your robot's root password during SCP operations.
  • Most Conga Robots don't support sftp protocol and some scp implementations use sftp. you need to use option -O to force scp instead of sftp
  • Always make sure you have backups before restoring data, as this operation can overwrite existing robot map information.
