Back up or restore Fiery Central

The Fiery Central Manager allows you to back up printer group information so your printer groups can be restored after system crashes or upgrades.

Note: Before restoring from a backup, you must delete all existing printer groups. You cannot merge backed up printer groups with existing printer groups.

The following information is backed up:

Printer group information
Paper Catalog
Paper Catalog mapping

Note: The backup and restore feature can only be accessed from Command WorkStation installed on the Fiery Central Server.
