Making a backup MIOS and deploying it on
multiple units
If you have updated settings or made specific changes to your MIOS that you
would like to use on other units, you will need to make a backup MIOS ISO.
This backup is stored in the recovery partition of Matrox Iris GTX. This MIOS
ISO cannot be mounted onto a USB key; it can only be stored on one.
Alternatively, you can store this backup on your network. Once a backup is saved,
it can be deployed on a unit by following the instructions outlined in the
subsections below.
Saving a backup MIOS
To create a backup MIOS ISO that you can use in the event that your drive ever
corrupts, you should store it on a blank USB key with a capacity of 4 Gbytes, or
more. To do so:
1. Follow steps 1-4 of the Restoring the factory default MIOS section earlier in this
appendix.
2. On the Matrox Imaging OS - Recovery page, select Backup System Disk .
A terminal will open and start the process of creating a backup MIOS ISO. The
ISO file will be stored in the
boot/backup/rescue folder of your
Matrox Iris GTX unit.
