 Introduction to Backing Up Your System (p. 91)
 Backup Strategies (p. 92)

Introduction to Backing Up Your System
Final Cut Server includes a backup feature that allows you to create a backup copy of
the Final Cut Server catalog. Being able to restore the catalog from the backup copy
can help you get your system running again should you need to reinstall
Final Cut Server.
The Backup pane makes it easy to manually or automatically make backup copies of
your Final Cut Server catalog.
Important: The backup feature only backs up the Final Cut Server catalog—it does not
back up any assets or projects stored on any of your devices.
