Performing Backup And Restore - EFI E-85 Installation And Service Manual

Performing Backup and Restore

This chapter provides information about how to back up or restore information to the system. The E-85 ships with system
software pre-installed on the hard disk drives (HDDs). A factory-installed backup partition is available for restore if there
is no on-site usable backup.
You can use three features to create backups and restore the backup images:
Fiery System Installer
•
You need to have the System Software DVD 1 to start the Fiery System Installer. This backup captures all settings,
files, and jobs on the E-85. You can restore this backup after you replace the HDD.
Fiery System Restore
•
You can access Fiery System Restore from the WebTools or Fiery QuickTouch. This backup captures all settings and
files on the E-85. You can create a backup and restore the backup when the E-85 is not working. You can also schedule
the automatic backup. This method does not require you to use the System Software DVD 1.
See Table 4 for more detailed information on the Fiery System Installer and Fiery System Restore.
Command WorkStation and Configure WebTools
•
This backup captures the customer settings and data. You can restore the custom settings after you reinstall the system
software or upgrade to the newer version.
Note: The system image does not include VDP/FreeForm resources. To back up the FreeForm masters 1 and 2, save the
configuration settings as described in
