[HDD Restore/Backup]
Overview
Back up the data of HDD store jobs or hold jobs or the setting data of Image Controller to an external USB storage medium, or restore the data backed up to an external storage medium to the machine HDD.
NOTICE
- The following settings are required to use this function.
- Set [Enhanced Security Mode] to [OFF].
Tips
- During restore or backup operations, the system automatically enters the power-saving state and hence no other functions can be used. You will not be able to return to the previous screen if an error interrupts the operation after the system enters the power-saving state.
- To cancel the restore or backup operations after they have begun, set the Sub power switch to OFF. Do not set Main power switch to OFF.
- [HDD ALL Restore] can only be performed when [HDD Encryption Setting] are the same for both back up and restore.
- If [HDD ALL Restore] fails or canceled in the middle, the system will restart. In this case, all data on the HDD will be deleted.
- You cannot restore data for which the [HDD ALL Backup] process was done on another system.
- If [HDD BOX Restore] fails or canceled in the middle, the system will restart. The restored data is not deleted.
- If there are any abnormalities in the data that was backed up to an external storage device, the restore operation will be canceled.
Tips
[Controller Backup] stores the following data managed by Image Controller to an external storage medium.
- Color setting data
- Device setting (Status Notification Setting, SSL/TLS Setting, Auto Logout, Printer Settings, Network Settings)
- Font (can be restored only in the backup source device.)
- Software Switch Setting
- Each language file on controller panel
- Job History/Controller Job No.
Reference
- For details about [Enhanced Security Mode], refer to [Enhanced Security Mode].
Conditions for Backup and Restore Operations
- Ensure that the external storage media used for backup is securely connected to the USB connection port
- Ensure that only one external storage medium used for backup is connected
- Ensure that Enhanced Security mode is not set
Conditions for external storage device used for backup
- The device is formatted (FAT32 or ext4)
- There is sufficient capacity to complete the backup
- Since the USB connection port only supports low-power devices, storage media that require a large amount of power should be powered using an external power source
