3.Backup and Restore
Software configuration information and customer specific files should be backed up to a safe location, either to tape or to a remote server on a regular basis. It is valuable to back up a system to a remote location when upgrades of hardware are performed.
Software configuration information should be saved when the system has been installed and all queues and printers have been set up. Also, when any printer or queue properties are changed.
The Configuration utility provided with the DocuSP software will backup all of the DocuSP configuration files in the /opt/XRXnps/ configuration directory. This includes the preferences settings, printer set up, and queue set up files.
If a software upgrade or new software installation is required, a representative will perform the software installation. In each case, certain portions of the system configuration will need to be restored or reentered by the customer.
