To back up the current files on the file server:
1. Create a separate, backup folder on your file server PC (not in the FTP folder) to house
the files currently used by the network of generators.
2. Open the FTP site folder and copy the contents of the folder to your backup folder.
These should include the 882 directory and the System and Library folders as shown
below.
3. If any of the generators have custom format, image, sequence, or font files that do not
also reside on the file server, you must back them up to the backup folder on the file
server independently to preserve them. See “
Backing up the current files on the file
server ” on page 152 for instructions.
You might want to back up only the custom files on the generator to a custom folder on
the file server you create. Alternatively if you are sure you want to restore a generator
with its current set of library files you can simply backup its entire library folder to a
custom folder on the file server.
Copying files to the PC file server
After you have backed up your existing files, you must delete the current files from the FTP
folder on the file server, and then copy the new, updated files to the FTP folder. Before you
begin, you must either have a CD-ROM containing the new system, gateware, and library
files, or download the files from the Quantum Data Web site.
To copy the new files to the file server:
1. Open the FTP site folder and delete the contents.
2. Open the 882 folder from the location where you downloaded the files from the
Quantum Data Web site.
