86 Installation and Service Guide

Performing Backup and Restore

• Use a descriptive and consistent naming convention when saving image files (such as date, product name, product

version, and short description).

After creating a backup image file, it is recommended that you transfer the image file to an external location, such as a

USB flash drive, USB HDD, or a network location.

System Update Log

To read a list of applied system updates, you must print a system configuration page. The applied system updates are

listed in the Configuration page sections: Fiery Updates, Application Updates, and OS Updates. If there have been no

patches added to the system software, the System Updates sections will not be listed in the Configuration page nor will

the System Updates be listed in the Fiery Ticker.

Backing up the system configuration

If you back up the system configuration, you can restore that configuration after reinstalling or upgrading system

software. When you back up the system configuration, you save a configuration file that includes one or more of the

following:

• Fiery System Settings

• Color settings

• Command WorkStation settings (Fiery Advanced Controller Interface only)

• Scan Settings

• FreeForm/VDP resources

• Virtual Printers

• Server Presets

• Fonts

• Job Log

Note: Those settings you do not choose are not saved for restore.

If you cannot create a configuration file, ask the site administrator to archive FreeForm masters, customer-installed

fonts, and the Job Log to removable media or a network location.

To save the system configuration using Command WorkStation

1 Ask the site administrator to print the Job Log, Server Configuration page, and Font List (if possible).

2 Launch Command WorkStation and connect to the E-35A with Administrator privilege.

The default Administrator password is

Fiery.1 (case-sensitive), but the site administrator may have changed the

password.

3 From Server menu, select Device Center. In Device Center window, select Tools > Backup & Restore.
