Performing Backup and Restore
Backing up or restoring the E-46A
The following tasks describe using Fiery System Restore on WebTools. Fiery QuickTouch uses the same menu
selections and features for backing up and restoring the E-46A. Refer to the following tasks if you are using Fiery
System Restore on Fiery QuickTouch.
To setup automatic scheduled backup
Note: When you set up the scheduled backup, only the latest backup will be stored. Previous backups will be deleted.
1 Access Fiery System Restore (see page 94).
2 In Fiery System Restore window, click Schedule Backup.
If you have not logged in as an Administrator user, you are required to do so. Enter the administrator’s password
and click Log In.
3 Select Enable automatic backup, and select when you want to start the backup process on the E-46A.
Note: The backup process takes more than an hour to complete and it requires the E-46A to be Idle status. If the E-
46A is not in Idle status, the backup process does not start.
4 Click Save.
To backup manually
1 Access Fiery System Restore (see page 94).
2 In Fiery System Restore, select one of the following options:
• Backup Now> USB: Select this option if you want to create a backup on a USB storage device.
• New image: Select this option if you want to create a backup of the current E-46A. You can select Create
bootable image option to make the USB storage device a bootable device.
• Fiery factory image: Select this option if you want to create a backup of the E-46A factory image. When you
select this option, the Create bootable image option enables automatically.
If you select Create bootable image option, the USB storage device specified as a destination becomes a bootable
device. Select this option when you want to boot the E-46A from the backup device to avoid the situation where
the HDD fails and cannot boot the E-46A. See page 99 for booting from the bootable device. Bootable device is
used for system restoration when a hardware failure occurs.
Note: The minimum size required for the USB storage device depends on the actual size of the backup file. You
can determine the size of the backup file by checking the Estimated size: field in the Create USB Backup dialog
box. Prepare a USB storage device with enough capacity.
Note: Due to Windows file system restriction, the maximum size of the USB storage device you can use is 32GB
if you enable the Create bootable image option. You can use the USB storage device with more than 32GB
capacity without enabling the Create bootable image option.
• Backup Now> Internal hard drive: Select this option if you want to create a backup on the HDD of the E-46A.
You must specify the file name of the backup image. The default image name is the server name of the E-46A.
