If a recent generated CDCT backup is not available, you can use the PWXUCDCT utility to manually create a CDCT backup. Use the PWXUCDCT utility CREATE_CDCT_BACKUP command to back up the CDCT file based on the latest Logger configuration incarnation.

Alternatively, if a failure causes the CDCT file and its recent backups to become damaged or deleted, you can use the DERIVE_CDCT_BACKUP command to derive a backup based on the available PowerExchange Logger log files, optionally in conjunction with the last available backup file. This previous backup can be an automatically generated backup or one that you created. By using the previous backup file, you preserve more historic information in the CDCT file. The utility will add any log files that were created since that backup was taken to the derived backup file.
