5.17 Maintaining Central Admin Server Settings

Central Admin Server settings set by the administrator can be backed up, restored, and obtained.

Audit logs are not backed up or restored by the operations described below, because they are not included in the Central Admin Server settings.

5.17.1 Backing Up Central Admin Server Settings

All data managed in the Central Admin Server (excluding audit logs) can be backed up. Central Admin Server settings can be restored using the backup file. Make backups periodically just in case.

To back up Central Admin Server settings, execute "AmBackup.exe" in the command prompt on the computer installed with the Central Admin Server software.

When backing up, the Central Admin Server is in a temporarily suspended state, and connection from the Central Admin Console or uploading/downloading of user roaming data, and release of updates to scanners are not possible. On the [Scanner Operation Monitor] window, the operating status of all scanners is indicated as "Unreported".
