When starting a trace with LANconfig or LANmonitor, a backup file with the current trace data is automatically saved. The settings for the trace backup can be configured with 'Extras > Other settings > Trace' backup. Enter the following parameters:
- Directory for the trace backups
- Maximum size of a trace backup file. If this file size is reached with an active trace, another trace backup file is created automatically.
- Save interval of the trace backup file. When this time has elapsed, an updated version of the trace backup file is saved automatically. The trace backup file therefore does not contain the information from the most recent backup up to the current time.
- LANmonitor can set current workstation time as a time for the trace, for example when the traced device itself does not have valid time information.
