The below steps gives us the basic backup procedure required to take backup from the RS Logix 5000 PLC software.

RSLogix5000 PLC Program Backup procedure

RSLogix 5000 PLC projects are stored in a file format with the extension: *.ACD

The ACD file encompasses the entire RSLogix 5000 project and is the only file you will need to retrieve.
