[Storage Restore/Backup]
Overview

NOTICE
The following setting is required to use this function.
- Set [Enhanced Security Mode] to [OFF].
Tips
- The external storage medium with USB connection is required to use this function.
Tips
- During restore or backup operations, the system automatically enters the power-saving state and hence no other functions can be used. You will not be able to return to the previous screen if an error interrupts the operation after the system enters the power-saving state.
- To cancel the restore or backup operations after they have begun, set the Sub power switch to OFF. Do not set the Main power switch to OFF.
- [Storage All Restore] can only be performed when [Storage Encryption Setting] are the same for both back up and restore.
- If [Storage All Restore] fails or canceled in the middle, the system will restart. In this case, all data on the HDD will be deleted.
- You cannot restore data for which the [Storage All Backup] process was done on another system.
- If [Storage Box Restore] fails or canceled in the middle, the system will restart. The restored data is not deleted.
- If there are any abnormalities in the data that was backed up to an external storage device, the restore operation will be canceled.

- For details about [Enhanced Security Mode], refer to [Enhanced Security Mode].
