Setting advanced options for drive-based backups

When you define a drive-based backup, you can set the following advanced options:

You can split the recovery point into smaller files and

specify the maximum size (in MB) for each file.

For example, if you plan to copy a recovery point to ZIP disks

from your backup destination, specify a file size of 100 MB

or less, according to the size of each ZIP disk.

Divide into smaller files to

simplify archiving

SmartSector technology speeds up the copying process by

only copying the hard-disk sectors that contain data.

However, in some cases, you might want to copy all sectors

in their original layout, whether or not they contain data.

This option lets you copy used and unused hard-disk sectors.

This option increases processing time and usually results

in a larger recovery point.

Disable SmartSector Copying

This option lets you run a backup even if there are bad

sectors on the hard disk. Although most drives do not have

bad sectors, the potential for problems increases during the

lifetime of the hard disk.

Ignore bad sectors during

copy

This option sets a password on the recovery point when it

is created. Passwords can include standard characters, not

extended characters or symbols. (Use characters with an

ASCII value of 128 or lower.)

A user must type this password before restoring a backup

or viewing the contents of the recovery point.

Use password

You can encrypt your recovery point data to add another

level of protection to your recovery points.

You can choose from the following encryption levels:

■ Low (8+ character password)

■ Medium (16+ character password)

■ High (32+ character password).

Use AES encryption

Editing advanced backup options

After you define a backup, you can go back at any time and edit the advanced

options you chose when you first defined the backup.
