Backup and Restore
Restore Configuration
•To restore customer settings after a hardware or hard disk failure.
•For restoration after a software installation that included an installation of the operating system.
•When you only need to restore individual items, such as queue setups, custom security profiles, network and gateway settings, or paper stock or tray mappings.
It is not recommended that jobs be backed up using the Configuration Backup. Use the Print Services feature to save jobs as TIFF or FRF files on the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller or on another storage location. Using Print Services saves job ticket information as well as retaining color settings over software upgrades.
•To restore customer settings after a hardware or hard disk failure.
•For restoration after a full software reload
If only a software upgrade is performed on the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller, the system configuration information is typically retained.
