Backup Hot Folders

You access the Backup feature in the Fiery Hot Folders Console. A separate window opens that takes you through the process.

  1. In the Fiery Hot Folders Console, choose File > Backup & Restore.
  2. Click Backup and then click Next.
  3. Specify any of these settings for the backup:
    • File Name - Accept the default file name or type a new name for the backup file.

    • Location - Set the location where your compressed backup files are saved.

      If you want to replace an existing backup file rather than create a duplicate, you must set the same location as the existing file and specify the same file name. Before the backup starts, Hot Folders asks whether to replace the existing file.

    • Add date to file name - Adds the current date to the file name. Use this option to automatically generate unique file names for backup files created on different dates.

  4. Click Next.

The Backup summary is displayed, and provides a hypertext link to the location specified for the backup files. For each Hot Folder, the Backup summary indicates whether the backup succeeded (a green check mark) or failed (a red "x").
