Devices
You should configure your computer to support any internal hard disks, Xsan systems,
RAIDs, network volumes, and external drives that Final Cut Server uses for its devices. If
any of the devices are on volumes that require a password, you will have to manually
configure those passwords using Device Setup Assistant after you have restored the
Final Cut Server backup file.

Note: Be aware that, after the restore is completed, any devices that have full scan
automations configured for them will try to perform those scans at their scheduled time.
If the device is not available and configured properly, this could lead to the scan purging
assets from the catalog.

Restoring Your Catalog

Restoring your Final Cut Server catalog simply requires you to choose a backup file to
restore from.
