The optimal data compression level depends on disk (partition) files types and can
only be understood empirically.
Usually, it is recommended to leave the switch in the
Normal
position. If you need
to burn image to removable media, you can select
Maximum
compression.
4.6 Protecting
images with passwords
An archive file with a partition (disk) image can be protected with a password. To
protect a partition (disk) from being restored by anybody except you, enter a
password
and its confirmation into the text fields of the wizard page
Image
Archive Protection
. A password should consist of at least eight symbols and
contain both letters (in the upper and lower cases preferably) and numbers to make
it more difficult to guess.
Image password protection
If you try to restore data from a password-protected image, Acronis True Image
Server 8.0 for Windows will ask for the password in a special window, allowing
access only to authorized users.
