212 Appendix B– Restoring the Spire CX250 Color Server Software

Overview

This chapter describes when and how to back up and restore the entire operating system and software (including the current job list database) on your computer, as well as when and how to reinstall the Spire Application software on your Spire CX250 color server.

Note: To back up and restore the Spire CX250 color server software on the

CX250, you must be connected to the Spire CX250 color server via the Remote

Desktop Connection.

Backing up the software on a regular basis (weekly) is always recommended so that a working copy can be used for recovery, if necessary. Performing the restore procedure requires a previous backup. To ensure a successful recovery:

•Save a copy of the backup, either on the network or on an external device, to prevent loss of data in case your system disk becomes corrupted.

•Perform the backup and recovery procedure at any time that you want to back up and restore the Spire CX250 color server system partition and the job list database.

Note: Windows XP activation is not required.

The following scenarios will assist you in determining when to use the backup and restore procedures.
