Backup of the MEAP Application Area and Recovery of the Backup
Data
■ Outline
When replacing or formatting the HDD, the data in the MEAP application area needs to be temporarily saved to your PC.
This chapter describes information on backing up the data in the MEAP application area and recovering the backup data.
In the case of MEAP-installed devices, the application is license-managed, so the application needs to be reinstalled and
reconfigured when replacing or formatting the HDD.
In that case, a license for reinstallation needs to be downloaded and the customer data and configuration information need to be
recovered, and these procedures pose heavy burdens on the service technician.
The area used for the MEAP application can be easily saved/recovered by using the backup function.
This greatly reduces the work burden on the service technician.
Please note that the application cannot be illegally copied because the backup data can be recovered only when the device has
the same serial number.
CAUTION:
• You must not perform any other work (including checking operation) until the HDD has been backed up. This
arrangement is to prevent a mismatch of MEAP counter readings and the HDD contents, and any fault in operation
arising as the result of failure to observe this will not be covered by the guarantee of operation.
• Do not disable the license during the period from backup using SST to restoration of data.
It is not necessary to reinstall the license file when restoring the backup data.
