Backing up the Fiery proServer system

Creating a backup of your current Fiery proServer system enables you to restore the system to 
an earlier state without having to return it to its factory settings. It is recommended that you 
regularly create backups of your Fiery XF system configuration in case you need to return the 
Fiery proServer system to an earlier state.

Be aware that job files can be backed up, but not the RTL files that reside in the Export folder 
due to their size.

:

Backing up the Fiery proServer system can take up to one hour, depending on the 

backup medium used and the volume of job data.
