7 Backup and Restore

To ensure a smooth transition between Xerox FreeFlow
Server software versions and to maintain the Xerox FreeFlow
Print Server 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.
This section presents the backup and restore capabilities of the
Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller. Refer to the
documentation that accompanied your system for instructions
specific to your product.
The capabilities are:
• Back up and restore the entire system
• Back up and restore user configuration information
It is recommended that the system image be backed up on a
regular basis. Having a current system image ensures that in the
event of a failure of the system or the hard disks, the system can
be easily restored.
• Backup System provides an image or copy of the hard disk,
and places this copy into a protected partition on the Xerox
FreeFlow Print Server hard drive, SCSI tape drive, or Unix file
system. Backup System will copy everything on the disks that
it supports.
– Backup System provides a quick and efficient way to bring
the system backup to a known installation.
– Systems must have a minimum of 36Gbytes of disk space
and DocuSP 5.x software.
NOTE: Additional partitions/drives installed by the customer are
not backed up. These partitions/drives should be backed up on a
regular basis or prior to modifying the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server
controller.
• Restore System brings back the entire disk copy for the
system, including the operating system, Xerox FreeFlow Print
Server software, and user options. Only one version, at a time,
of a Backup System is supported.
– For new Xerox FreeFlow Print Server systems or systems
that have had a clean installation, the Backup and Restore
System capability is available through the Print Server
interface.
