Backing Up Stored Data
You can back up inbox data stored in the machine to an USB HDD (USB connected external hard disk) or an SMB server. Stored data backed up in this way can be restored to the machine.
The following data can be backed up and restored:
Mail Box Settings (mail box names, PINs, and auto erase times)
Fax Inbox Settings (fax inbox names and PINs)
Memory RX Inbox Settings (PINs)
Mail Box/Fax Inbox/Memory RX Inbox files
Form for Superimpose Image
IMPORTANT
It may take some time to complete a stored data backup/restore operation. Do not turn the machine's main power OFF until the operation is complete. Otherwise, the machine may malfunction.
If you back up/restore stored data without restarting the machine after changing the language displayed on the touch panel display by pressing [Preferences] (Settings/Registration) from the control panel of the machine, the stored data may not be backed up/restored properly.
You can enter up to 128 characters for the folder name of the backup location for stored data.
The backed up data can be restored only to this machine or upgrades of the same model.
It is recommended that you insert USB HDD for backing up and restoring data into the USB port located towards the back on the right side of the machine.
USB HDD to be used for backing up and restoring data must meet the following conditions:
Formatted using FAT32
Memory capacity of no less than 32 GB after formatting
External power supply (not bus powered)
Contains a folder with the identical name and path as the specified backup location
If you attach more than one compatible USB HDD to the machine, you cannot backup/restore data.
While backing up to the USB HDD the machine's performance may not be optimal, depending on the remaining capacity of the USB HDD.
Backing up to the USB HDD may take some time, depending on the remaining capacity of the USB HDD.
Restore data from the location where the data was backed up.
If the data was backed up to a USB HDD, you can only restore the data from a USB HDD.
If the data was backed up to the SMB server, you can only restore the data from the SMB server.
NOTE
For basic information on the saved data, see "Scan and Store" and "Access Stored Files."
It is recommended that you regularly back up important data.
Make sure not to edit or delete backed up data. If you edit backed up data, you may not be able to correctly back up or restore the data.
To backup/restore stored data, it is necessary to log in as an administrator.

Performing the Stored Data Backup
Before upgrading the firmware of the machine, you can back up the stored data stored in the machine to the location specified in "Setting the Backup Location for Stored Data."
You can back up stored data to a destination folder a maximum of 100 times. Immediately after performing the backup, check [Back Up/Restore Log] in [Data Management].
If the number of times exceeds 100, an error is displayed in [Result]. In this case, change the destination folder for backups.
To check the number of backups, select [Data Management] → click [Restore] → [Display Backup Data].
To perform a backup, make sure there is enough space in the storage. Before performing a backup, check the screen in step 2 to see if you have enough space.
1.
Click [Settings/Registration] → select [Data Management] for <Management Settings> → click [Back Up].
2.
Click [Execute].
You can confirm the status of the backup process in <Backup Status>.
Select [All] or [Changes] for <Backup Method>. [All] backs up all of the stored data. [Changes] backs up only the stored data updated or added since the last backup.
IMPORTANT
Do not start a backup in the following case. The backup process will not start normally and an error will occur.
If an operation is performed with the Memory Media from the touch panel display
If the message <A server error has occurred.> appears, the network settings of the destination folder for backups may not be correct. For information on network settings, see "Network."
NOTE
If you want to schedule a backup, click [Settings/Registration] → [Data Management] → [Auto Backup Settings]. Select either [Back Up All] or [Back Up Changes] and [Everyday] or [Specify Days] → enter the time to perform the backup.
