98Installation and Service Guide: Color Controller E-46A
Performing Backup and Restore
3 Enter the backup settings.
Because settings vary depending on the destination you select, make sure that you specify valid settings.
The Backup settings window appears. In this window, do the following:
• Select a backup destination from one of the following locations: Local Disk, USB drive, External hard disk drive,
or Network.
• Specify the name of the backup file in the Folder Name field.
Fiery System Installer creates a folder with the name containing the file name and a time stamp to help you
distinguish the backup images. The default file name is the server name. The installer automatically generates
the time stamp.
• If you select “Include Fiery job files in backup”, jobs archived in the server are included in the backup.
• If you select “Create bootable media,” the USB storage device or hard disk drive specified as a destination
becomes a bootable media. Select this option when you want to boot the E-46A from the backup media to
avoid the situation where the HDD fails and cannot boot the E-46A. See page 98 for booting from the
bootable media. Bootable media is used for system restoration when a hardware failure occurs.
• Enter a description of the backup.
• If you select Save in the backup settings, the system saves the specified backup setting for a subsequent Load.
Only the specified setting is saved.
4 If you select USB Drive or External Hard Disk as a destination in step 3, make sure you attach the appropriate device
to the E-46A.
5 Click Start backup to begin the backup process.
If there is a need to stop the backup process, press the cancel icon. Fiery System Installer displays a message allowing
you to restart or shutdown the server. You can specify a backup log to be saved, if desired.
Restore with Fiery System Installer
To recover from a system crash, you must restore the system with a backup image.
Note: Backed-up data can be only restored to the same E-46A.
If you select USB storage device or external hard disk drive as a backup destination, all the
existing data in the drive will be lost when you create a backup on these media.
All the existing data in the USB drive or external hard disk drive will be lost when you create a
