Backing up and restoring the imagePRESS Server
You can back up the imagePRESS Server system image manually, schedule automatic back ups, and restore the
system image. All back up and restore functions require administrator privileges. The system image includes the
operating system, imagePRESS Server software, and the imagePRESS Server configuration settings.
The imagePRESS Server can be backed up and restored through the following tools:
•
Fiery System Restore, available on the WebTools Fiery System Restore tab
You can also back up and restore the imagePRESS Server configuration settings as a separate file. The configuration
settings can be backed up through Configure or through Command WorkStation commands.
Recommended back up actions
Important: We recommend creating a bootable system image on an external USB device. This allows recovery
if the hard disk is not functional or has been replaced.
If it becomes necessary to restore the imagePRESS Server from a bootable image, contact your service
technician.
If the hard disk is still functional, you can use Fiery System Restore to restore the system from a non-bootable
image. You can also use Fiery System Restore to restore from a bootable image without booting from the image.
Important: Restoring the imagePRESS Server system image reformats the hard disk and overwrites any
customizations and data created since the system image was created.
All print jobs are lost when the system image is restored.
1 After the imagePRESS Server installation is complete, back up the imagePRESS Server factory image onto a
bootable USB device.
This backup image is created from a factory image provided on the imagePRESS Server. You can use this image
to revert the system to the factory image, such as if software updates cause issues.
2 After you install any software updates and customize the imagePRESS Server configuration settings, back up the
customized imagePRESS Server system image onto a bootable USB device.
For details on what is included in the system image, see the back up and restore methods table in this chapter.
