To specify credentials
1. Select one of the following:
 Use the plan's credentials
The program will access the source data using the credentials of the backup plan account
specified in the General section.
 Use the following credentials
The program will access the source data using the credentials you specify. Use this option if the plan
account does not have access permissions to the location. You might need to provide special
credentials for a network share.
Specify:

User name . When entering the name of an Active Directory user account, be sure to also
specify the domain name (DOMAIN\Username or Username@domain)
 Password . The password for the account.
Click OK .
Warning: According to the original FTP specification, credentials required for access to FTP servers are
transferred through a network as plaintext. This means that the user name and password can be intercepted by
an eavesdropper using a packet sniffer.
5.4.6 When to validate
As validation is a resource-intensive operation, it makes sense to schedule validation to the managed
machine's off-peak period. On the other hand, if you prefer to be immediately informed whether the
data is not corrupted and can be successfully recovered, consider starting validation right after the
task creation.
Choose one of the following:
 Now - to start the validation task right after its creation, that is, after clicking OK on the
Validation page.
 Later - to start the one-time validation task, at the date and time you specify.
Specify the appropriate parameters as follows:
 Date and time - the date and time when to start the task.
 The task will be started manually (do not schedule the task) - select this check box, if you
wish to start the task manually later.
 On schedule - to schedule the task. To learn more about how to configure the scheduling
parameters, please see the Scheduling section.
5.5 Mounting an image
Mounting volumes from a disk backup (image) lets you access the volumes as though they were
physical disks. Multiple volumes contained in the same backup can be mounted within a single
mount operation. The mount operation is available when the console is connected to a managed
machine running Windows.
Usage scenarios:
 Sharing : mounted images can be easily shared to networked users.
