6.4.3 Backup validation
If you would like to check the newly created backup for consistency (perform the backup validation),
select the Validate after backup check box (for further information on Backup validation, please refer
to section "Validating backups" (p. 64)).
6.4.4 Other settings
Click More options to open the pop-up with the additional settings. These options are described in
the "Options" section (p. 30).
6.4.5 Completing the Create backup task wizard
To complete the New backup task wizard, you should define the task name. Note that [ ] { } ; , .
symbols are not allowed for the task name.
When you click on the Save button, all the parameters of your set up backup task will be saved and
you will see the created task in the Tasks view. Clicking on the Save & Run button will result in saving
the task and running it right away.
6.5 Options
Clicking on the More options in the last step of the New Backup Task wizard opens up a pop-up with
the settings. If no changes were made to the settings, they will retain their respective default values
for your current backup task. Note that if later on you change certain settings and save them as
default, it will not affect the tasks created with the default settings (they will retain the settings
which were default at the moment of the task creation).
This section below describes all the settings one by one.
6.5.1 Archive Protection
The default value for the Archive protection
when editing the existing task or when creating a new task specifying the existing archive.
In order to protect your archive from unauthorized access, select the Set password for the archive
check box, then type your password in the Enter the password field; and, finally re-type it in the
Confirm the password field. Note that the password is case-sensitive.
The created archive can be protected either with just a password or enhanced with the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) 128/192/256-Do not encrypt,
your archive will be protected with the password only. If you would like to use the encryption, select
one of the following: AES 128, AES 192 or AES 256.
The AES cryptographic algorithm operates in the Cipher-block chaining (CBC) mode and uses a
randomly generated key with a user-defined size of 128, 192 or 256 bits. The larger the key size, the
longer it will take for the program to encrypt the archive and the more secure your data will be.
