Backing up the Fiery proServer system
Creating a backup of your current Fiery proServer system enables you to restore the system to
an earlier state without having to return it to its factory settings. It is recommended that you
regularly create backups of your Fiery XF system configuration in case you need to return the
Fiery proServer system to an earlier state.
Be aware that job files can be backed up, but not the RTL files that reside in the Export folder
due to their size.
NOTE: Backing up the Fiery proServer system can take up to one hour, depending on the
backup medium used and the volume of job data.

3 Reboot the Fiery proServer (see page 4). When the reboot process starts, press <F11>.
4 When asked to select a boot device, press <Enter>.

This takes a few minutes.
5 Continue with the on-screen instructions until you are requested to select a language from
