3. Backup and Restore
Software configuration information and customer specific files
should be backed up to a safe location, either to tape or to a

performed.
Software configuration information should be saved when the
system has been installed and all queues and printers have been

backup all of the DocuSP configuration files in the /opt/XRXnps/
configuration directory. This includes the preferences settings,
printer set up, and queue set up files.
If a software upgrade or new software installation is required, a
representative will perform the software installation. In each
case, certain portions of the system configuration will need to be
restored or reentered by the customer.

• Customized links to directories
• Continuous Feed custom imposition files
• Continuous Feed custom print mark files
