1. Open backup files (Supposed you save back up files in your hard drive first with all comments)
2. From your Rslogix Tool bar, choose TOOLS->DATABASE->ASCII EXPORT. At documentation data base ASCII EXPORT select *.EAS, *.EIC, *.ERP, *.ESG and Open one by one and choose save and OK.
3. Select your directory for save files (ASCII EXPORT).Untill this step, you finish to Export your files command in ASCII CODE.
4. Close your backup files and go online with your PLC which have loaded the files.
5. From tools bar, choose Tools->Database->ASCII IMPORT.
6. On ASCII IMPORT Directives choose to Import your contained Files *.EAS, *.EIC, *.ERP, *.ESG and File->Save As
