📌 WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS
─────────────────────────────────
✅ Why backups are critical in real robot systems
✅ How to take a full system backup in RobotStudio
✅ What files are inside a backup (.tar format)
✅ How to open and load a backup into RobotStudio
✅ Restoring a backup on a real IRC5 controller
✅ What is Program Flow in RAPID

💡 WHY THIS VIDEO MATTERS
─────────────────────────────────
On the factory floor, one wrong change
can stop an entire production line.
Knowing how to take and restore a backup
can save your job — literally.
And understanding program flow is what
separates someone who copies code from
someone who actually WRITES code.
