88 Appendix E: Microsoft Windows operating system partition backup and recovery
Matrox Iris GTR Windows 10 IoT Enterprise
configuration utility
If purchased with MIL-only, Matrox Iris GTR comes with the Windows 10 IoT
Enterprise operating system pre-installed. To backup and restore Matrox
Iris GTR, the Matrox Iris GTR Rescue utility and the Matrox Iris GTR Windows
IoT Enterprise configuration utility (OSConfig) also come pre-installed; these
utilities allow you to:
• Capture an image of your Matrox Iris GTR’s operating system partition so that
you can deploy the camera’s operating system, applications, and particular settings,
to multiple Matrox Iris GTR smart cameras. The capture process creates a rescue
USB key with a captured backup .wim file; user settings and the camera’s unique
ID will be reconfigured when the image is restored on other smart cameras.
• Backup the image of your Matrox Iris GTR’s operating system partition to a USB
key or specified drive. This process makes a similar backup (.wim file) as a captured
backup, except it retains the current user settings and ID. This backup is mostly
useful to restore the smart camera from which the backup was made, because it
will also restore the user settings and ID; multiple cameras (or other devices) with
the same ID will cause problems on your network. When creating this type of
backup, you have the option to simply save the backup file, or to create a rescue
USB key (that is, to also configure the key with other files necessary for installing
the backup image).
• Restore a Matrox Iris GTR to its factory default settings or to a backup or captured
backup image of all its files.
