Getting Started
Your First Backup
Your first backup with Echo Backup should include all files on the hard drive(s)
installed on your computer.
Note: OnStream strongly encourages you to let OnStream Echo back up all
files on your computer now. Doing so ensures that your files are protected
now and in the future.
A backup of all files on your computer can take a while to complete. The exact
time required depends on many things, including the speed of your computer
and the number and size of your files.
When you restart your computer after installing OnStream Echo, Echo Backup
can automatically make a complete backup. Just follow these steps:
1.
If you have not already done so, insert an OnStream ADR cartridge into your
OnStream Digital Tape Drive as described on page 13.
Every time you insert a new OnStream ADR cartridge into your OnStream
Digital Tape Drive, OnStream Echo prompts you to initialize the new cartridge.
Initialization only takes about one minute.
2.
Type a meaningful name for the cartridge, such as “Complete Backup,” in the
Initialize Tape dialog box and press OK.
