Performing Backup and Restore
• To create a backup using Fiery System Installer, see “Using Fiery System Installer” on page 93.
When backing up an existing E-45 installation
•
For an existing E-45 installation, first check if a backup image exists either on the server or an external location.
• If a backup image exists, check if it is up to date. Compare the date stamp of the existing backup image to the date of
the last patch installation. See the System Update log for patch information. See
“System Update Log” on page 88.
• If a backup image does not exist, create a new one after installing all available software updates.
•
The backup image may be saved to or found in any of the following locations:
• Local Disk
•
USB drive
• External hard disk drive
• Network
• If you do not have a backup with the system settings and jobs, the system can access a preinstalled recovery backup on
the hard disk drive provided with the E-45. See “Backing up the system configuration”.
• If you have a system backup that includes your settings and jobs, you can recover them from your backup media you
have created with Fiery System Installer.
• Use a descriptive and consistent naming convention when saving image files (such as date, product name, product
version, and short description).
After creating a backup image file, it is recommended that you transfer the image file to an external location, such as a
network location or external drive.
System Update Log
To read a list of applied system updates, you must print a system configuration page. The applied system updates are listed
in the Configuration page sections: Fiery Updates, Application Updates, and OS Updates. If there have been no patches
added to the system software, the System Updates sections will not be listed in the Configuration page nor will the System
Updates be listed in the Fiery Ticker.
Backing up the system configuration
If you back up the system configuration, you can restore that configuration after reinstalling or upgrading system software.
Important:
If you restore the system using the pre-installed recovery backup, the system and configuration will
be reset to the factory default.
Important:
Backed up data can be only restored to the same E-45.
Important:
If you select USB drive or external hard disk drive as a destination, all the existing data in the drive
will be lost when you create a backup on these media.
