Copying files to the PC file server
882 Video Test Instrument User Guide (Rev A.35)
To back up the current files on the file server:
1. Create a separate, backup folder on your file server PC (not in the FTP folder) to house
the files currently used by the network of 882s.
2. Open the FTP site folder and copy the contents of the folder to your backup folder.
These should include the 882 directory and the System and Library folders as shown
below.
3. If any of the 882s have custom format, image, sequence, or font files that do not also
reside on the file server, you must back them up to the backup folder on the file server
independently to preserve them. See
page 152 for instructions.
You might want to back up only the custom files on the 882 to a custom folder on the
file server you create. Alternatively if you are sure you want to restore a 882 with its
current set of library files you can simply backup its entire library folder to a custom
folder on the file server.
After you have backed up your existing files, you must delete the current files from the
FTP folder on the file server, and then copy the new, updated files to the FTP folder.
Before you begin, you must either have a CD-ROM containing the new system, gateware,
and library files, or download the files from the Quantum Data Web site.
To copy the new files to the file server:
1. Open the FTP site folder and delete the contents.
2. Open the 882 folder from the location where you downloaded the files from the
Quantum Data Web site.
