HP Colorado Backup II how to handle media that
already contain backups.
■
Verify data by performing a file-by-file
compare after the backup has been
completed.
If you back up with the Verify Data option on,
HP Colorado Backup II will verify the data by
reading it back from the backup media after
writing it and comparing it to data on the disk.
Because Verify Data takes twice as long, you
may choose to turn this option off. However, it is strongly recommended
that you use Verify Data to help ensure the reliability of your backups.
■
When backing up to media
Never compress the data —Turns data compression off (does not control
hardware compression).
Compress data to save time during backup —Compresses your data as
much as possible with a minimum reduction in speed.
Maximize compression to save space on media —Compresses your data as
much as possible without regard to speed. This may cause your backup to
take longer, however the resulting backup set will use less space.
