Please help me with hard drive on iR4570

[TJBoy]

OK, here is the situation, I have 2 Canon iR4570 and we need to swap all data between these 2 devices: Mailboxes, Address Book, Department ID and Settings (like IP, SMTP info, etc).

I was planning on doing this manually by doing a backup and export on each one of those features but with over 90 users on both devices it will be a very time consuming task... and then most likely I will end doing some manual entry as well...

Then it occur to me if we can just swap the internal hard drives between these devices and accomplish the task in a faster and easy way.

What do you think, is this possible?, what would be the steps, I have replaced hard drives on computers but not in these iR4570...

Please help and thanks!

So in other words you do not recommend to swap the internal hard drives on these devices?

Hi there, I'm in the process of refreshing these iR4570 with the iR3245i.

The process to backup/restore the current mailboxes would be the same?

Thanks!

Backing Up and Restoring Mailboxes

With the newer devices, you can back up the mailboxes to a shared folder on a computer and then later restore them on the machine. This option backs up the mailbox name, password, and also the contents of the mailbox. Perform the following steps to set up this option:
1. From Remote User Interface, select Additional Functions.
2. Select Custom Settings.
3. Select Backup/Restore Settings.
4. Select Backup Destination Settings and enter the settings as follows:

HOST IP ADDRESS: \\COMPUTER_NAME_OR_IP_ADDRESS\shared_folder_name.
FILE PATH: path to the folder within the share (blank if sending to root of shared folder).
USER NAME: enter a valid user name that has write privileges to the host that you are sending to.
PASSWORD: enter the valid password for the user that you have entered above.


5. After setting up the destination settings then you can use the backup option to backup the mailboxes to your computer and then the restore option to restore it on the machine.

Backup Mailbox Data on the imageRUNNER Series
How to backup mailbox data-


From the RUI (Remote User Interface) on some imageRUNNER models you are able to backup the mailbox contents or data.

1. Open the RUI by entering the IP address of an imageRUNNER in the address bar of a web browser.

2. Choose the Add. Func. (Additional Functions) button.

3. Choose Custom Settings.

4. Scroll down to Backup. Set up the correct Backup Destination Setting.

5. Choose Backup. Click [Execute] to start backing up the data in user in-boxes. This will backup the data to a BOX folder where you specified in the Backup Destination Setting. Inside the BOX folder will be each mailbox number and contents. You cannot view the files at this point. You will have to restore the data back to the imageRUNNER to view the files in the mailbox.

6. From Custom Settings, scroll down and choose Restore. Click [Execute] to restore. All data in user in-boxes will be overwritten when restarting.

7. Restart the imageRUNNER. You may see the following messages on the imageRUNNER LCD, please do not turn off power at this point. Remaining data is being erased, please do not turn off power. Restoring inbox data, do not turn off power. Then the imageRUNNER will reboot, shows the Wait... screen, let it complete and boot up. Now you will be able to check your mailbox and your mailbox contents will be there.

Device Information Delivery is on the RUI printer web page? or is a software I can download from Canon site?
