Backup options

In the Disk Backup Options, File Backup Options, E-mail Backup Options, Nonstop Backup Options and Online Backup Options windows you can configure options for a disk/partition, file, e-mail, nonstop and online backup processes respectively. To open the options window, click the appropriate link.

After you have installed the application, all options are set to the initial values. You can change them for your current backup operation only or for all backups that will be created in future. Select the Save the settings as default check box to apply the modified settings to all further backup operations by default.

Note that options of each backup type are fully independent, and you should configure them separately.

If you want to reset all the modified options to the values that were set after the product installation initially, click the Reset to initial settings button.
