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.

4. Click

to Highlight it.

Click on the

button to

clear the media location memory.
