Backing up
Data on the media (data storage device) installed in the multifunctional prod-
uct can be backed up onto your computer.
The backup operation is performed after the Backup wizard is started and
the necessary settings have been specified.
Note
Only auxiliary data storage devices connected directly to your computer
can be selected to store the backup data. In addition, data cannot be
backed up on optical media, such as CD-R and DVD-R.
Reminder
The auxiliary data storage device where the backup data is to be saved
must have the same amount of space available as the maximum amount
of space on the media to be backed up. This is not the total size of the
data saved on the media. For the maximum amount of space on the me-
dia installed on the multifunctional product, refer to the User's Guide for
the multifunctional product.
Reminder
The backup operation cannot be performed if the multifunctional product
to be backed up is being operated or is in Administrator mode.
Reminder
Never turn off the multifunctional product being backed up while the
backup operation is being performed.
Note
Depending on the size of the media to be backed up, the backup opera-
tion may take a few hours.
