212 Chapter 9 – Reinstalling the Spire CX260
Overview
This chapter describes when and how to:
• Back up and restore the entire operating system and Spire CX260 software
(Last Image configuration), including the current job list database
• Reinstall the software configuration on your Spire CX260.
When to Back Up and Restore
Back up the Spire CX260 software:
• On a regular basis—for example, weekly—so that you always have a working
copy of your software to be able to restore your system, if necessary.
• When you want to revert back to a specific configuration.
Restore the system when:
• The operating system fails.
• The performance of the operating system is low.
• The system exhibits unpredictable behavior—for example, if error messages
suddenly appear or if the GUI freezes occasionally.
The Spire CX260 provides two restore methods:
• Restore Last Image configuration (partition C)—Norton Ghost restores the Last
Image configuration file from partition E.
• Restore Factory Default configuration—restores partitions C and D from the
Factory Default file on partition E.
You can back up and restore the Spire CX260 system partition and the job list
database at any time.
Tip: 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.
Note: Restoring the Last Image configuration may not include the most
recent job list database.
Note: Restoring the Factory Default configuration does not include the job
list database.
