• Specify the name of the backup file. The Fiery System Installer creates a folder with the
name containing the file name and a time stamp to help you distinguish the bakcup
images. The default file name is the server name. The installer automatically generates the
time stamp.
• Enter a description of the backup.
• If you select “Create bootable media” checkbox, the USB device or hard disk drive
specified as a destination will become a bootable media. Select this option when you want
to boot the imagePRESS Server from the backup media to avoid the situation where the
HDD fails and cannot boot the imagePRESS Server. See
for booting from the bootable media.
4 If you select “USB Drive” or “External Hard Disk” as a destination, make sure you attach the
appropriate device to the imagePRESS Server.
5 Start the backup process.
Restore with Fiery System Installer
If you recover from a system crash, you must restore the system with a backup image.
Backed up data can be only restored to the same imagePRESS Server.
