Additional settings
Specify the additional settings for the backup operation by selecting or clearing the following check
boxes.
Overwrite data on a tape without prompting for user confirmation
This option is effective only when backing up to a tape device.
The preset is:
Disabled
.
When starting backup to a non-empty tape in a locally attached tape device, the program will warn
that you are about to lose data on the tape. To disable this warning, select this check box.
Dismount media after backup has finished
This option is effective in Windows and Linux operating systems.
This option is effective when backing up to a removable media (CD, DVD, tape or floppy disk.)
The preset is:
Disabled.
The destination CD/DVD can be ejected or the tape can be dismounted after the backup is
completed.
Ask for the first media while backing up to removable media
This option is effective only when backing up to removable media.
The option defines whether to display the
Insert First Media
prompt when backing up to removable
media.
The preset is:
Enabled
.
When the option is enabled, backing up to removable media may be not possible if the user is away,
because the program will wait for someone to press OK in the prompt box. Hence, you should disable
the prompt when scheduling a backup to removable media. Then, if the removable media is available
(for example, a DVD is inserted), the task can run unattended.
Reset archive bit
The option is effective only for file-level backup in Windows operating systems and in bootable
media.
The preset is:
Disabled
.
In Windows operating systems, each file has the
File is ready for archiving
attribute, available by
selecting
File
->
Properties
->
General
->
Advanced
->
Archive and Index attributes
. This attribute,
also known as the archive bit, is set by the operating system each time the file is changed and can be
reset by backup applications each time they include the file in a backup. The archive bit value is used
by various applications such as databases.
When the
Reset archive bit
check box is selected, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 will reset the
archive bits of all files being backed up. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 itself does not use the archive
bit value. When performing incremental or differential backup, it determines whether a file has
changed by the file size and the date/time when the file was last saved.
