214 Appendix B– Restoring the Spire CX250 Color Server Software

Backing Up and Restoring the Software

Attention: To ensure a successful backup, there must be at least 650 MB of disk space available in partition C.

We recommend that you restore the software on your Spire CX250 color server after an unrecoverable system crash or when the operating system’s performance is low.

When you back up the Spire CX250 color server system partition (partition C), all the operating system files are copied to partition E (LI.GHO).

The backup and restore procedures for the Spire CX250 color server do not require Windows XP Professional activation, and are not related to the system reinstallation. The procedures can be performed at any time that you want to backup and restore your Spire CX250 color server system partition, and backup and restore your job list database.

Attention: Before performing the backup procedure, make sure that your computer’s configuration is the one that you want to use when restoring the system.

To restore the Last Image configuration, you first need to back up the

CX250 configuration (partition C:).

Note: Restoring the Factory Default configuration does not include the job list database. Restoring the Last Image configuration may not include the most recent job list database.

The procedures for backing up and restoring the software are described in detail in the following sections.

Note: To enable the restoration of customer settings and job data, we recommend that you back up the Spire CX250 color server configuration and other information before performing the recovery procedure.

Attention: Once you have backed up all the required information to your local disk, move this information to an external device or to a network (you cannot back up directly to an external device or network).
