Backup Vipp Files Before An Upgrade - Xerox 6100BD - Phaser Color Laser Printer Manual

3. Backup VIPP Files Before an Upgrade

The VIPP system files are any directories and/or files located under /usr/xgf. The
working VIPP files are, by default, located under /usr/xgfc. However, mappings can
be made to other locations, so check the /usr/xgf/src/xgfunix.run file. This file lists the
search paths that VIPP can use to find files. These should all be backed up.
1. Open a Terminal window. If you are using DocuSP software version 2.x or
below, right-click on the background, select [Programs], then select [Terminal]
from the menus. If you are using DocuSP software version 3.x or above,
right-click on the background, select [Tools], then select [Terminal] from the
menus.
2. Move the mouse into the Terminal window and type: su and press [Enter]. A
password prompt will be displayed.
3. Type in the root password and select [Enter]. If this is done correctly a #
prompt will be displayed.
NOTE: For security purposes the password will not be displayed as it is being
typed.
4. Type: cd /uxr/xgfc and press [Enter].
5. Type: ls and press [Enter] to list the working VIPP files. These files will need
to be backed up.

configuration files to a file called backup.tar.
