2 Backup and Restore To ensure a smooth transition from DocuSP software levels and to maintain the DocuSP system for the long term, backing up and restoring system and configuration information on a regular basis is part of a well-maintained printing environment. -
Page 30: When To Restore A Configuration
CAUTION: It is strongly recommended that a System Backup and Restore only be performed when directed by a Xerox customer service representative. When to restore a Configuration The following items detail when to use the backup and restore configuration option. -
Page 31: Configuration Backup
Backup and Restore It is recommended that the System Backup process be completed after the system has been running in production for a week or two. The System Backup should be performed once a month, and it should be completed during a time when the printer is not in use, such as at night. -
Page 32: Restore Configuration
Backup and Restore CAUTION: Avoid selecting the option to back up Jobs. The Jobs selection in Configuration Backup saves the contents of the inQ, which contains all Job Manager (Active, Inactive, and Completed) jobs. The backup may require a significant amount of time and space to accomplish, and does not save any job ticket information. -
Page 33: Additional Backup Information
Backup and Restore NOTE: Do not use a System Restore when there has been a hard drive failure. The Backup System is only a partition of the hard drive. NOTE: Refer to the appropriate Online Help for detailed procedures and SUN documentation for additional information on saving a system image. -
Page 34: Frequently Asked Questions
What older DocuSP tools do these options replace? For Configuration Backup, the Bridge backup tool used by the Xerox Service Representative. In addition, certain information had to be recorded by hand or on hardcopy for manual restoration. For System Backup, the DSPERU or UNIX UFS dump routines. - Page 35 Backup and Restore How big are the files? Configuration files can be very small, depending upon the options selected during the backup. The System Backup partition is set at 10 Gbytes specfically for the system image. Where are the files saved? Configuration files may be saves to any available DocuSP location, including the local hard disk or a shared network drive.
