Backup and Restore
Configuration Backup
The Backup Configuration option allows the Administrator to
select all or some of the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server
configuration settings to backup and then restore. The backup
configuration allows for fast and efficient saving of user settings.
Backup Configuration allows for multiple versions, network
backups, and quick restoration of user information.
Software configuration information should be saved when the
system has been installed and all queues and printers have been
set up. It should also be saved when any printer or queue
properties are changed.
The Configuration Backup option enables you to select among
items like the following:
• Queues
• User accounts
• Network Setups
• Stock Database/Tray mapping
• Stacker/Finisher settings
• LCDS Resources
• ICC Profiles/TRCs
• Image Quality and Decomposition
• Any mounted local or remote drives
Ideally, the Configuration settings should be backed up at weekly
intervals.
CAUTION: Use the Xerox FreeFlow Print Service save and
reprint capability to save jobs for future use. Job ticket information
as well as color information is retained for each job.
NOTE: See Online Help for detailed procedures.
When to Backup and Restore a Configuration
The following items detail when to use the backup and restore
configuration option.
It is recommended that the Configuration Backup process be
performed in weekly or monthly intervals, and be completed
during a time when the printer is not in use, such as at night.
The Configuration Backup file can be saved to a shared network
drive.
