76 Installation and Service Guide: Printer Controller EB-34
Performing Backup and Restore
When backing up an existing EB-34 installation
• For an existing EB-34 installation, first check if a backup image exists either on the server or an external location.
• If a backup image exists, check if it is up to date. Compare the date stamp of the existing backup image to the
date of the last patch installation.
• If a backup image does not exist, create a new one after installing all available software updates.
• The backup image may be saved to or found in any of the following locations:
• Local Disk
• USB drive
• External hard disk drive
• Network
• If you do not have a backup with the system settings and jobs, the system can access a preinstalled recovery backup
on the hard disk drive provided with the EB-34. See “To restore the system using Fiery system installer” on page 82.
• If you have a system backup that includes your settings and jobs, you can recover them from your backup media
you have created with Fiery System Installer.
• Use a descriptive and consistent naming convention when saving image files (such as date, product name, product
version, and short description).
After creating a backup image file, it is recommended that you transfer the image file to an external location, such as a
network location or external drive.
Backing up the system configuration
If you back up the system configuration, you can restore that configuration after reinstalling or upgrading system
software.
When you back up the system configuration, you save a configuration file that includes one or more of the following:
• Fiery System Settings
• Scan Settings
Important: If you restore the system using the pre-installed recovery backup, the system and configuration
will be reset to the factory default.
Important: Backed up data can be only restored to the same EB-34.
Important: If you select USB drive or external hard disk drive as a destination and select to make a bootable
image, all the existing data in the drive will be lost when you create a backup on these media.
