Backup and Restore

Configuration Backup

The Backup Configuration option allows the Administrator to select all or some of the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server configuration settings to backup and then restore. The backup configuration allows for fast and efficient saving of user settings. Backup Configuration allows for multiple versions, network backups, and quick restoration of user information.

Software configuration information should be saved when the system has been installed and all queues and printers have been set up. It should also be saved when any printer or queue properties are changed.

The Configuration Backup option enables you to select among items like the following:

Queues

User accounts

Network Setups

Stock Database/Tray mapping

Stacker/Finisher settings

LCDS Resources

ICC Profiles/TRCs

Image Quality and Decomposition

Any mounted local or remote drives

Ideally, the Configuration settings should be backed up at weekly intervals.

CAUTION: Use the Xerox FreeFlow Print Service save and reprint capability to save jobs for future use. Job ticket information as well as color information is retained for each job.

NOTE: See Online Help for detailed procedures.

It is recommended that the Configuration Backup process be performed in weekly or monthly intervals, and be completed during a time when the printer is not in use, such as at night.
