INITIAL CONFIGURATION

When rst opening ArGest® Backup, the QuickCong Conguration Assistant will walk

you through the initial conguration. For use with the OWC Mercury Pro LTO, please

select Standalone Tape Drive as your default backup destination. For the remaining

settings, we recommend using the default and skipping the email conguration.

You may change these settings at any time by editing the ArGest®Backup preferences.

WINDOWS

When prompted about a “Group Assignment Problem”, please follow the instructions

in the prompt to add the user to the group. You will need to log out and log back in

for the change to take effect. This is only required once when rst opening ArGest®

Backup as that user.

seconds and during that time you will hear some noise from the drive. This is

expected.

2. Open ArGest®Backup.

3. Choose Archive/Backup.

3. Click Start A New Project.

blank space under “Included Items”

6. Check the box for Use Destination Defaults to use the default settings as set up

during the initial configuration and then click Next.

7. Enter your preferred name for the tape set and the current backup. This will allow

you to easily identify the tape and archive when you need to restore it at a later

point. Click Next to continue.

8. ArGest® Backup will use the native capacity of the supported tapes to estimate

how many tapes will be required for this backup. Click OK to close the estimate.

9. When ready, click Start to write the file(s) to tape. If the tape already contains some

data, depending on your settings, you may get a warning and a prompt to insert a

blank tape or approve the overwriting of any existing data.

10. If prompted, enter the tape’s barcode and click OK.

11. The LTO drive will now reposition the tape and start the backup.

12. When the backup has completed, please review the log to make sure there were

no unexpected errors. You may print the details and save the report as a PDF

document for future reference. Click Close when done.

14. To eject the tape, please press and immediately release the eject button on the

front of the tape or from within ArGest® Backup go to Tools > Device Control and

click Eject Tape. Ejecting the tape can take 20-30 seconds.

backed up on the same computer. If the tape comes from a different place, it will be
