Performing Backup and Restore
This chapter provides information about how to back up or restore information to the system. The EB-34 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.
•
Fiery System Restore
You can access Fiery System Restore from the WebTools Home tab.
for more detailed information on the Fiery System Installer and Fiery System Restore.
•
Command WorkStation and Configure WebTools
Using these feature makes you create a single backup file that contains the system configurations.
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”
