Appendix B– Restoring the Spire CX250 Color Server Software
Overview
This chapter describes when and how to back up and restore the entire 
operating system and software (including the current job list database) on 
your computer, as well as when and how to reinstall the Spire Application 
software on your Spire CX250 color server.
Backing up the software on a regular basis (weekly) is always 
recommended so that a working copy can be used for recovery, if 
necessary. Performing the restore procedure requires a previous backup. 
To ensure a successful recovery:
Save a copy of the backup, either on the network or on an external 
device, to prevent loss of data in case your system disk becomes 
corrupted. 
Perform the backup and recovery procedure at any time that you want 
to back up and restore the Spire CX250 color server system partition 
and the job list database.
The following scenarios will assist you in determining when to use the 
backup and restore procedures.
Note:  To back up and restore the Spire CX250 color server software on the 
CX250, you must be connected to the Spire CX250 color server via the Remote 
Desktop Connection. 
Note:  Windows XP activation is not required.
