System information
•
Scan settings (current scan templates and settings, if your Fiery Server supports this feature)
•
Command WorkStation settings (includes user-created tab presets, local job presets, Command WorkStation
preferences, imposition templates)
Note: The Command WorkStation settings option is not available on all Fiery Servers. When supported, this
option is available only from Command WorkStation on the Fiery Server with an attached monitor, keyboard,
and mouse.
•
FreeForm/VDP Resources (includes FreeForm masters and other VDP resources, such as PPML resources and
links)
•
Paper Catalog (settings made in Paper Catalog but may not include tray associations)
•
Virtual Printers (all user-created virtual printers and their settings)
•
Server presets
•
Fonts (user-installed fonts)
•
Job Log (a list of processed jobs)
Note: We recommend that you save the backup file to a network server, not the Fiery Server itself. Otherwise,
when you reinstall system software, the backup file is deleted.
Important information to consider when you back up and restore:
•
Saved Backup and Restore settings can be used from both Configure and Command WorkStation.
•
In the case of upgrading your Fiery Server to a a new system software version, you can restore the backup file
created from the previous version. However, all new settings not available in the previous system software are set
to system default.
•
Backup and Restore settings can be restored to another Fiery Server of the exact same model and version, but in
this case, settings such as Server Name, IP address and Network settings are reset to system defaults. This
prevents problems with both Fiery Servers co-existing on the same network.
Back up or restore Fiery server settings
You can back up or restore Fiery Server settings from Configure or from Command WorkStation.
Note: The Restore Fiery Settings and Restore Default Fiery Settings option are not available for every Fiery Server.
Back up Fiery Server settings from Configure
From Configure, you can choose which Fiery Server settings you want to back up.
Important: There are two versions of Configure and they are specific to the Fiery Server you are connected to. This
is a combined procedure that describes what to do when connected to a Fiery Server with FS100/100Pro or earlier,
and notes about what to do with FS150/150 Pro or later. If you are not sure which version of Configure you are
using, see Which version of Configure am I using? on page 27.
1
From Configure, choose Server > Backup/Restore and click Backup.
Note: If you are connected to a Fiery Server with FS150/150Pro, choose Fiery Server > Backup instead.

Follow the on-screen instructions to back up your settings.
