Performing Backup and Restore
To restore the system using Fiery system installer
You will access your backup media (USB drive, local hard disk drive or external hard disk drive) to restore the system.
1 Start the Fiery System Installer.
• Insert System Software DVD 1.
• Reboot the E-46A (see page 42).
• When the menu appears, specify a language.
2 If your backup file is stored in the USB drive or external hard disk, attach the device to the E-46A.
3 From “What do you want to do?” screen, select “Restore from backup or recovery partition”.
The Select backup source dialog appears. You can choose one of the following:
• Backup
If present, previous backups are listed for you to choose.
• Restore from recovery partition
This restores the server from a hard disk drive partition to its factory-built settings.
• Search for backups from this system
This lets you select a backup from a displayed list. Alternatively, you can select Refresh, Import backup history,
or Search the network for backups.
If a backup image exists, the installer lists information about each backup image:
• The time and date in which you created the backup.
• The location of the backup image: Local Disk, USB drive, External hard disk drive, or Network.
• Alternatively, you can also choose to Refresh, Import backup history, or Search network.
4 Select the source of the backup and click OK.
When a message appears indicating that all the data will be erased, click Continue to proceed the restore process.
Using bootable USB storage device to restore
Use the following procedure when you restore the system without using the System Software DVD 1, or when the E-
46A does not boot from the built-in hard disk drive.
You can restore from the bootable backup media (including the Fiery factory image) created by either Fiery System
Restore or Fiery System Installer.
Any custom settings you have specified after installation are over-written.
