Performing Backup and Restore
This chapter provides information about how to back up or restore information to the system. The E-85A ships with system
software pre-installed on the hard disk drives (HDDs). A factory-installed backup partition is available for restore if there
is no on-site usable backup.
You can use three features to create backups and restore the backup images:
•
Fiery System Installer
You need to have the System Software DVD 1 to start the Fiery System Installer. This backup captures all settings,
files, and jobs on the E-85A. You can restore this backup after you replace the HDD.
•
Fiery System Restore
You can access Fiery System Restore from the WebTools or Fiery QuickTouch. This backup captures all settings and
files on the E-85A. You can create a backup and restore the backup when the E-85A is not working. You can also
schedule the automatic backup. This method does not require you to use the System Software DVD 1.
See
for more detailed information on the Fiery System Installer and Fiery System Restore.
•
Command WorkStation and Configure WebTools
This backup captures the customer settings and data. You can restore the custom 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”
