• If you saved the backup files to a network location, you must gain network
access to the files. Close the Storage Utility. Do not restart, but remain in
Storage Maintenance mode. The Windows desktop appears, from which you can
do your Windows networking configurations. Make the required connections
and configurations as explained in the M-Series User Manual. When you are
done with your Windows procedures, open the Storage Utility shortcut on the
Windows desktop.
8. Using the Storage Utility, work through “Restoring the media file system” on
page 63 , restoring from your Media File System backup file. When the Storage
Utility completes the process, your Media File System contains references to media
as it existed on the media disks at the time the backup was made.
A message is displayed asking if you want to restart. Depending on when you made
the backup, proceed as explained in the next two steps.
9. If you made your backup as in step 2 earlier in this procedure the Media File
System references are correct as they were on the faulty iVDR and there are no
further Storage Utility operations required. Proceed as follows:
a. Answer Yes to confirm the restart. The next message asks if you want to stay in
Storage Maintenance mode.
b. Answer No to restart into Normal mode. AppCenter opens automatically. There
should be no error messages, since the media disks are now properly
incorporated into the Media File System. Skip ahead to step 11.
10. If you are restoring from a backup you made previously (prior to the problem on
the faulty iVDR), the Media File System references are not all correct. Any media
that is new or modified since you made the backup is not referenced and is
therefore unrecoverable. However, this unreferenced media leaves behind
unreferenced media files on the media disks, unreferenced movies (database
records) in the database, or a combination of both. You must remove these
problems from the Media File System to prevent ongoing errors. Proceed as
follows:
a. Answer No so that you do not restart the iVDR and the Storage Utility remains
open.
b. Work through “Cleaning the media file system” on page 64 . When prompted,
confirm that you want to delete both the unreferenced movies and the
unreferenced files.
c. Close the Storage Utility. When prompted to restart the iVDR, answer Yes to
confirm the restart. The next message asks if you want to stay in Storage
Maintenance mode.
d. Answer No to restart into Normal mode. AppCenter opens automatically. There
should be no error messages, since the media disks are now properly
incorporated into the Media File System.
11. If you have not already done so, complete any remaining connections necessary so
that the replacement iVDR can operate just as the faulty iVDR did. Refer to the
M-Series User Manual.
12. If you have a saved backup configuration file, restore your saved configurations
