R ESTORE S ESSION B ACKUP
In another section of the Startup Screen (Session Page>Manage) there is a feature that allows you to back up
the current session to another storage volume.
The Restore Session Backup link at the bottom of the Session List (for each drive) is provided to compliment
this feature. To restore a session you have previously archived, click Restore Session Backup (Figure 41), and
use the file explorer provided to select a .SessionBackup file.

Click Open, and a progress gauge will track the restoration process. In due course, the newly restored session
will be added to the Session List for the specified drive.
Hint: Restoring a session that has a lot of content can take considerable time. Be judicious, then, if considering a
restoration shortly before a scheduled live production.
O PENING A S ESSION
Just as you were able to select an icon on the ring using the left and right arrow keys, you can highlight a
name in the Session List using the Up and Down arrow keys; then press the Enter key to open it (or simply
click the name of a session to open it immediately). Selecting a session takes you away from the Home Page
to the Sessions Screen.
5.2.3 SHUTDOWN
This selection provides Restart TriCaster, Shutdown TriCaster, and Administrator Mode links. The first two
options are presumably self-explanatory, but the latter deserves a bit more discussion.
A DMINISTRATOR M ODE
Selecting Administrator Mode from the Shutdown menu on the Home Page icon ring exits TriCaster’s live
production environment, and takes you to a new screen (Figure 42) that offers various functions and settings
having to do with TriCaster system maintenance and management.
