How to backup the print server configuration

To back up a Windows printer server, follow these steps:
1. Run Printer Migrator.
2. On the Actions menu, click Backup.
3. In the Target server box, type the name of the printer server to back up by using the following UNC format:
\\Servername
For example, type \\chicagotechprtsvr1. If you are backing up the printer configuration on a local computer, leave this box blank.
4. In the File name box, either accept the default name and location for the .cab file in which the configuration data is saved (%SystemRoot%\System32\Spool\Pm\Pm.cab), or specify the file name and location that you want to use.
5. Click OK. The backup process starts. The contents of the progress report that is displayed in the lower pane of the Printer Migrator window is written to the Pm.log file. When the backup process is finished, the following text is displayed at the end of the log file:
Backup complete.
