The following items detail when to use the backup and restore
system option.
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.

Restore System

operating system, or other software failure.

or the operating system has been compromised i.e. from a
storm or if corrupted by a power surge.
• To restore a known image of the entire system.
• Do not use when restoring after a hard disk failure.

attempted a previous backup must have been completed.
