Performing Backup and Restore
This chapter provides information about how to back up or restore information to the system. The E-35A ships with
system software pre-installed on the hard disk drive (HDD). A factory-installed backup partition is available for restore
if there is no on-site usable backup.
You can use two features to create backups and restore the backup images:
•
Fiery System Restore
You can access Fiery System Restore from the WebTools, Fiery QuickTouch or Command WorkStation. This
backup captures all settings and files on the E-35A. You can create a backup and restore the backup when the E-
35A is not working. You can also schedule the automatic backup.
See
for more detailed information on the Fiery System Restore.
•
Configure from Command WorkStation or WebTools
This backup captures the customer settings and data. You can restore the customer settings after you reinstall the
system software or upgrade to the newer version.
Note:
The system image does not include VDP/FreeForm resources. To back up the FreeForm masters 1 and 2, save
the configuration settings as described in
“Backing up the system configuration”
