Abstract
An image forming apparatus which obtains an installation file of an application from the outside when the installation file is not obtainable from the image forming apparatus during backup, and an operating method of the image forming apparatus, are provided. The image forming apparatus includes a memory, a communication interface, and at least one processor. The at least one processor determines whether an installation file of an application to be backed up is obtainable from the memory, obtains, when the installation file of the application to be backed up is not obtainable from the memory, the installation file of the application to be backed up from an external storage device or a server via the communication interface, and generates a backup file based on the obtained installation file.
