Introducing, Removing and Importing GoVault Cartridges

Before you can use a GoVault cartridge as a GoVault data protection 

software archive storage device, you must introduce the cartridge to the 

GoVault data protection software archive environment. 
The introduction process places a format header on the cartridge and 

creates an entry in the Windows registry of the host computer.
The introduction procedure includes specifying whether you want to 

provide a unique name and description for the cartridge, or use the 

default hard disk drive serial number (HDD S/N) to identify the 

cartridge. Thereafter, unless you change the specification, the GoVault 

data protection software automatically:

• Uses either the cartridge name or HDD S/N to identify the cartridge
• Keeps track of all archive files that are stored on the cartridge
• Monitors the amount of available space remaining on the cartridge, 

and alerts you when it approaches its capacity and is no longer 

suitable for additional archive operations

When a cartridge becomes full, reaches the end of its useful life, or is 

otherwise ready for withdrawal from service as an archive storage 

device, you should remove it from the GoVault data protection software 

archive environment.
Subsequently, a cartridge that has been removed can be reintroduced or 

imported back into the original archive environment, or into any other 

GoVault data protection software archive environment. Note, however, 

that you do not need to remove a cartridge from the GoVault data 

protection software archive environment before importing it into 

another—you can always import cartridges from one GoVault data 

protection software archive environment to another.
