SYSTEM SOFTWARE INSTALLATION 90
• Specify the name of the backup file. The Fiery System Installer creates a folder with the
name containing the file name and a time stamp to help you distinguish the backup
images. The default file name is the server name. The installer automatically generates the
time stamp.
• Enter a description of the backup.
• If you select “Create bootable media” checkbox, the USB device or hard disk drive
specified as a destination will become a bootable media. Select this option when you want
to boot the E-43A from the backup media to avoid the situation where the HDD fails and
cannot boot the E-43A. See “Restore with bootable media” on page 91 for booting from
the bootable media.
4 If you select “USB Drive” or “External Hard Disk” as a destination, make sure you attach the
appropriate device to the E-43A.
5 Start the backup process.
Restore with Fiery System Installer
If you recover from a system crash, you must restore the system with a backup image.
Backed up data can be only restored to the same E-43A.
TO RESTORE THE SYSTEM USING THE FIERY SYSTEM INSTALLER
1 Start the Fiery System Installer.
2 If your backup file is stored in the USB drive or external hard disk drive, attach the device to
the E-43A.
3 From “What do you want to do?” screen, select Restore from backup or recovery partition.
If you have not previously created a backup image, “Restore from recovery partition” is
displayed.
4 Select the source of the backup.
Select one of the following options.
• One of the two most recently-created backup images.
• The recovery partition, which restores the default system settings from a hidden hard disk
drive partition.
• Search for a backup that you have created on the E-43A.
The installer lists each backup image in the following categories.
– Location of the backup image: USB flash drive, external hard disk drive, network
location, or local hard disk drive
– Time at which you created the backup image
– Folder location of the backup image
Select the backup image and click OK.
