Opening the Software for the First Time
The first time you open the Retrospect software a
wizard will guide you through several steps to
complete the setup. Follow the steps and click
Next to complete the setup.
If you will be using the Exchange Database/
Mailbox backup feature it is important that you
enter the License code when prompted by the
setup wizard to add more license codes.
License Code HXN9-HJ4M-ANAJ-2TCX
In order to receive two free desktop client
licenses, you must register the software. You
will be prompted to register during the start up
wizard.
It is also important that the user logged in to run
Retrospect has rights to access the Exchange
Server. You can set Retrospect to always run as a
user with these rights or run as the logged-in user.
In either case make sure the user has necessary
rights to access the Exchange server.
Reloading Media: Any time media is moved
or removed from the OptiVault it is necessary to
clear the media location memory before
continuing backup operations. Use the following
procedure each time you reload media:
1. Remove all discs from the backup set except
for the last disc of each set. Put them in the
left bin. Note: Burned discs could be in the right
or left bin.
2. Reload blank media in the right bin so the
total number of discs in the unit does not
exceed 25 discs. Remember, the last disc may
be located in the drive so don't forget to
include it in your media count!
3. Open Configure on the left navigation menu.
Click Devices.
4. Click on Primera OptiVault to Highlight it.
Click on the Initialize Elements button to
clear the media location memory.
