Backing up and restoring the PS-17 system image
The PS-17 can be backed up and restored through
Backup and Restore
in WebTools .
Backup and Restore
includes a
feature for scheduling automatic backups.
You can create two types of system image: the factory default image and the customized system image.
The factory default image has the following characteristics:
•
Can only be saved as bootable image
•
Includes the factory default versions of both the software and the configuration settings
•
Can be restored to the same PS-17 unit and to other PS-17 units
The customized system image has the following characteristics:
•
Can be saved as bootable or non-bootable image (we recommend creating a bootable image to ensure the ability
to efficiently restore the system in any circumstance)
•
Includes any installed software updates plus the current state of the configuration settings
•
Can only be restored to the same PS-17 unit
Note:
For details about what is included with each type of system image, refer to the backup and restore methods
table in this chapter.
Backup and restore methods for the PS-17 system image
If the hard disk is functioning, you can restore the PS-17 from a non-bootable image. You can also restore the PS-17
from a bootable image without booting from the image.
If the hard disk is not functioning, it must be restored from a bootable image by the service technician.
You can use the factory image to restore any PS-17 unit. However, a customized image can only be used to restore
the same PS-17 unit used to create the image.
