2 Backup and Restore
To ensure a smooth transition between Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server software levels and to maintain the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server system for the long term, backing up and restoring system and configuration information on a regular basis is part of a well- maintained printing environment.
This section presents the backup and restore capabilities of the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller. Refer to the documentation that accompanied your system for instructions specific to your product.
The capabilities are:
•Back up and restore configuration information
•Back up and restore system information
System Backup and Restore
It is recommended that the system image be backed up on a regular basis. Having a current system image ensures that in the event of a failure of the system or the hard disks, the system can be easily restored.
•Backup System provides an image or copy of the hard disk, and places this copy into a protected partition on the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server hard drive, SCSI tape drive, or Unix file system. Backup System will copy everything on the disks that it supports.
–Backup System provides a quick and efficient way to bring the system back up to a known installation.
–Systems must have a minimum of 36Gbytes of disk space and DocuSP 5.x software.
NOTE: Additional partitions/drives installed by the customer are not backed up. These partitions/drives should be backed up on a regular basis or when the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller has been modified.
•Restore System brings back the entire disk copy for the system, including the operating system, Xerox FreeFlow Print Server software, and user options. Only one version, at a time, of a Backup System is supported.
–For new Xerox FreeFlow Print Server systems or systems that have had a clean installation, the Backup and Restore System capability is available through the Print Server interface.
