Replicating and Backing Up Data on the Server Machine
Click [Synchronize Custom Settings (Server)] on the Portal page of Remote UI to send replicated data to a Canon multifunction machine on the network on a regular basis and back up the latest data on the server machine.
You can replicate and back up data on the server machine in case of an accident.
Data Replication
This function regularly replicates the data on a server machine and sends it to a Canon multifunction machine on the same network specified as the replication destination, automatically updating the data.
Data Backup
This function saves the latest data managed by the database on the server machine. In addition to the storage space on the server machine, data can also be saved to an SMB server on the network.
* Data cannot be backed up or restored while the replication function is executing. Stop replication before you back up or restore data.
Replicating Data
Specify the replication destination and time for updating the replicated data. You can use the replicated data to recover the database of the server machine if any trouble occurs.
