Can you describe your network configuration? Routers, switches, bridges, computer connection, BCS connection, etc.?
Is the BCS on a fixed or DHCP address? Is the PC and BCS on the same LAN segment? Same IP numbering (same subnet)?
You previously had an issue updating the firmware, but you never reported what you did that solved that problem.
Could be an underlying networking or configuration issue that is causing the problem here.

Were you ever able to get it to work?

I cannot not get the utility to recognize my BCS address. I cleared browsers, tried multiple browsers, with the HTTP and with out, with the/ on the end and without. I'm not that tech savvy, so I really do not know how to answer JonW.

Are you using the Link on the Settings Page? I think there are two backup Utilities. One for 460/462 and one for a 482 that is in beta. I just tried that one and I am locked out as well with a BCS 462!

I went to Settings and turned off "Authentication" I can now backup again.

From the help docs:
https://docs.embeddedcc.com/utilities/
Backup/Restore
The Backup/Restore utility allows you to save your settings and/or your processes to a local drive on your computer. The Backup/Restore utility only works when Authentication is disabled on the BCS. Authentication can be disabled on the Settings page.

(I have a BCS-460)
After upgrading the firmware to 4.1.2 build edf0fe2c, i did a system reset and tried to restore my backup
file using the BCS Utilities link. I tried many many times and every time it froze after restoring Process 0
& State 0. I did a search and I found that someone had a similar issue that he was able to fix by using
http://lawn-chair.github.io/bcs-backup/ . This did the trick for me too. Please address this to save us from
wasting time and the frustration. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip to use
http://lawn-chair.github.io/bcs-backup/ for restoring! After I upgraded my BCS 460 to firmware 4.1.2 the link to the online utilities
http://embeddedcc.github.io/bcs-backup/ meant my restore procedure kept hanging half way through the first process, and it was driving me nuts! I hope that this gets fixed soon.
