You can create backup either on the E-25C internal HDD or on the external USB flash drive.

  • It is recommended to save the system backup on an external USB flash drive. This ensures that the backup image is available even if the E-25C HDD fails.
  • If you create a system backup with the "Create bootable image" option selected, the Fiery System Restore automatically reads the USB flash drive as a bootable (*1) drive. The USB flash drive will be formatted (FAT32) and any existing data on the device will be deleted.
    *1: Bootable means that the E-25C can boot or start up from the USB flash drive. This is essential for recovery in case of a system corruption or failure or if the HDD has been replaced and is currently empty.

  • When creating a backup on the internal HDD, only one backup is retained, as every new backup overwrites the previous backup. Also, automatic scheduled backup overwrites manually created backup.

  1. If you wish to create the backup on a USB flash drive, connect the USB flash drive to the port on the E-25C.
    For faster backup, it is recommended to use USB 3.0.
  2. Enter the IP address of the E-25C into a web browser.
  3. Confirm the E-25C is in Idle.
  4. In WebTools, click Fiery System Restore > Backup Now.
  5. If you are prompted to login, enter "admin" in the first line and then the password. (Default password is "Fiery.1".)
  6. Select the backup destination (USB or Internal hard drive).

    For backup on the USB flash drive, select the desired options and click Continue.

    • To create a bootable image with all the factory default versions of software and settings, select Fiery factory image. Fiery System Restore automatically creates the factory image as bootable image. (Non-bootable factory image cannot be created with the Fiery System Restore feature.)
    • To create a bootable customized image, select New image with the "Create bootable image" option checked. This creates a bootable image that contains the current software updates and settings, including any customizations made to the E-25C configuration.
    • To create a non-bootable customized image, select New image. This creates a non-bootable image that contains the current software updates and settings, including any customizations made to the E-25C configuration.
  7. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the backup.
    For a backup using USB 3.0, it will take 10-20 minutes to complete the backup. When the backup is complete, the E-25C will automatically reboot and enter Idle.
