Performing Backup and Restore
Backup recommendations
Even though the server maintains a backup you can use for recovery of the factory installation, creating a separate backup
provides the ability to retrieve customized settings and job information if a recent backup is needed. You can create a
backup by using Fiery System Restore (from Command WorkStation, WebTools, or Fiery QuickTouch), or Fiery System
Installer.
