Performing a Backup

• For instructions on performing a backup or a restore using the Retrospect Software refer to section 4 in
the User's Manual.
• For help with problems setting up a backup job please visit Primera's online Knowledgebase at
www.primera.com/knowledgebase.html
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.
