The GlobalScan Backup Utility is used to backup GlobalScan v3.1 data and restore data for
GlobalScan v3.x or v2.x Servers. Use this function to regularly backup GlobalScan system
settings, particularly if modifications to Projects, Profiles and server/MFD-related data is common.
This Backup utility enables you to easily migrate GlobalScan settings to a new v3.1 server or
quickly recover in the event of network/hardware failure. After performing the Backup procedure,
use the Restore procedure to apply the saved database (on the same or different GlobalScan v3.1
Server).
Important: In order to successfully restore GlobalScan data, the GlobalScan Server must be
activated with a Primary or Standalone CD Key.
Backup and Restore Specifications
Backup/Restore data includes the following:
- System Parameters
- Profiles
- Projects
- Services configuration
- MFDs: If the number of enabled devices in the backup file exceeds the number of licensed
MFDs, for the server where data is restored, then all devices will be restored. However, the
devices over the license limit will be restored with a "disabled" status, i.e., the "Enable" check
box within the WebAdmin's Manage MFDs screen will be deselected.
- Plug-in Information: For GlobalScan v2.0, only Ricoh Plug-ins will be backed up and restored.
For GlobalScan v3.0 or above, all plug-in information will be backed up and restored.
If you have activated the GlobalScan v3.1 Server with a CD Key that supports the optional
Failover service, it is recommended that you perform the following procedures prior to running the
Backup/Restore Utility:
•
Place the server in Maintenance Mode (see GlobalScan Management
