Backing up and restoring the imagePRESS Server system image

The imagePRESS Server can be backed up and restored through Fiery System Restore, available through WebTools.
Fiery System Restore includes a feature for scheduling automatic back ups.
You can create two types of system image: a factory default image and a customized image.
A factory default image has the following characteristics:
•
Can only be saved as bootable image
•
Includes the factory default versions of both the software and the configuration settings
•
Can be restored to the same imagePRESS Server unit and to other imagePRESS Server units
A customized image has the following characteristics:
•
Can be saved as bootable or non-bootable image (we recommend creating a bootable image to ensure the ability
to efficiently restore the system in any circumstance)
•
Includes any installed software updates plus the current state of the configuration settings
•
Can only be restored to the same imagePRESS Server unit
Note: For details about what is included with each type of system image, refer to the back up and restore methods
table in this chapter.
Back up and restore methods for the imagePRESS Server system image
If the hard disk is functioning, you can restore the imagePRESS Server from a non-bootable image. You can also
restore the imagePRESS Server from a bootable image without booting from the image.
If the hard disk is not functioning, it must be restored from a bootable image by the service technician.
