Backup Options
Description
Create a subfolder for backup
Creates a folder that can be identified by the backup source. Depending
on the item selected for backup, you will have a variety of options
available to you.
Create a backup log file
Creates a backup log file that features a history of backup jobs, and if your
system is not performing backups properly, the backup log file can be
used to troubleshoot the issues.
Encrypted data transfer
Enables the option to encrypt your files as they get transferred to the
backup target during a backup job.
When encryption is enabled, throughput is reduced, which could result in
slower data processing.
Compressed and transfer
Enables the option to compress your files as they get transferred to the
backup target during a backup job. By compressing and reducing a file’s
size, its transfer speed can improve.
This data is not backed up as a single archive. Also, this option should
not
be selected if you are backing up to a USB hard drive.
Ignore backup errors and continue
backup job on schedule
Enables the option to execute a backup, even if the current backup
process is disrupted.
Overwrite unchanged files
Enables the option to overwrite all unmodified files during a backup job.

You can verify that backup jobs were successful by checking the backup logs (make sure that the
Create a backup log
option is checked in the backup settings). Whenever a backup is completed, a log file named “task name” ”execution
date”.log will be created in the same folder set as a backup source. Note that the log file can be viewed by any text
editor, but it
cannot
be opened via Windows Notepad.

The following files and folders will not be backed up:
Files and folders beginning with periods (.) or underscores (_)
“.AppleDesktop/”
“Network Trash Folder/”
“The VolumeSeHngsFolder/”
“.DS_Store/”
".AppleDouble/"
".AppleDB/"
This completes the backup settings.
Notes:
•
While a backup job is running, a "taskeng.exe" window will remain open in Windows Storage Server. This window
will automatically close once the backup job finishes. Do not close the "taskeng.exe" window until the backup job is
completed. If you do, the backup will fail immediately.
