Performing Backup And Restore - Canon ImagePRESS Server H350 V2 Service Manual

Performing Backup and Restore

This chapter provides information about how to back up or restore information to the system. The imagePRESS Server ships
with system software pre-installed on the hard disk drive (HDD). A factory-installed backup partition is available for restore if there
is no on-site usable backup.
You can use two features to create backups and restore the backup images:
• Backup and Restore
You can access Backup and Restore from WebTools or Fiery QuickTouch. This backup captures all settings and files on the
imagePRESS Server. You can create a backup and restore the backup when the imagePRESS Server is not working. You
can also schedule automatic backup. This method does not require you to use the System Software DVD 1.
• Fiery System Installer
You need to have the System Software DVD 1 to start the Fiery System Installer. This backup captures all settings, files,
and jobs on the imagePRESS Server. You can restore this backup after you replace the HDD.
See Table 4 for more detailed information on the Backup and Restore and Fiery System Installer.
NOTE:
The system image does not include VDP/FreeForm resources. To back up the FreeForm masters 1 and 2, save the configuration
settings as described in "Backing up the system configuration" on page
