Backup and Restore
Restore Configuration
• To restore customer settings after a hardware or hard disk
failure.
• For restoration after a software installation that included an
installation of the operating system.
• When you only need to restore individual items, such as queue
setups, custom security profiles, network and gateway
settings, or paper stock or tray mappings.
It is not recommended that jobs be backed up using the
Configuration Backup. Use the Print Services feature to save
jobs as TIFF or FRF files on the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server
controller or on another storage location. Using Print Services
saves job ticket information as well as retaining color settings
over software upgrades.
• To restore customer settings after a hardware or hard disk
failure.
• For restoration after a full software reload
If only a software upgrade is performed on the Xerox FreeFlow
Print Server controller, the system configuration information is
typically retained.
DocuSP 5.x to Xerox FreeFlow Print Server 6.x upgrade
DocuSP 5.x to Xerox FreeFlow Print Server upgrade 6.x requires
a full reload of the Operating System. The recommended process
is:
• In 5.x, perform a Backup Configuration (all options)
• Full load of the OS and Print Server software
• Print several prints
• Restore Configuration of the DocuSP 5.x on the Xerox
FreeFlow Print Serve 6.x release.
NOTE: See Online Help for detailed Restore Configuration
procedures.
NOTE: Backup from 5.x with restore to 6.x following upgrade is an
intended scenario. Refer to instructions that accompanied your
system for backup and restore procedures specific to your
product.
