Backing Up FIX Files
After you create the support files for your recipe and I/O driver upgrades, you can proceed to back up your FIX
7.x files. Create a new folder on your computer, separate from the FIX 7.x (FIX32) folder, for the files you want
to save.
After you back up the FIX files, you may also want to copy this new folder to another location, such as a
network drive or a removable media, as a safeguard until the migration is complete.
The following table lists the files and folders that you must back up.
