5.2.8 Providing a comment
Provide a comment for the archive. This can help identify the backup and prevent you from
restoring the wrong data. However, you can choose not to make any notes. The backup file
size and creation date are automatically appended to the description, so you do not need to
enter this information.
5.2.9 The operation summary and the backup process
At the final step, the backup task summary is displayed. Up to this point, you can make
changes in the created task by clicking on the desired step and changing the settings.
Clicking
Proceed
will start the task execution if you have configured the task to be started
manually, by choosing the
Do not schedule
option at the Scheduling step, or have left
selected the
Run task now
box for a scheduled task.
The task progress will be shown in a special window. You can stop the procedure by clicking
Cancel
.
You can also close the progress window by clicking
Hide
. The backup creation will continue,
but you will be able to start another operation or close the main program window. In the
latter case, the program will continue working in the background and will automatically close
once the backup archive is ready. If you prepare some more backup operations, they will be
queued after the current one.
5.3 Fine-tuning your backups
You can fine-tune your backups to specific tasks. Such fine-tuning is made by configuring
backup options before starting a backup task.
You can set temporary backup options by editing the default backup options while creating a
backup task.
In addition, when backing up your data files, you can create custom data categories for
backup.
5.3.1 Archive protection
The preset is
no password
.
Suppose you have some files with sensitive information, for example, your tax return, which
you need to back up. Seagate BlackArmor Backup can help you protect your sensitive
information from getting into the wrong hands. The simplest (and the least secure) way is
protecting your backup with a password. Let's remind you that to make a password more
difficult to guess, it should consist of at least eight symbols and contain both letters (upper
and lower case, preferably) and numbers. If you think that a password will not give you
sufficient security, use encryption for your backup. Seagate BlackArmor Backup allows
encrypting backup files with the industry-standard AES cryptographic algorithm. A 128-bit
encryption key is sufficient for most applications. The longer the key, the more secure your
data. However, the 192 and 256-bit long keys significantly slow down the backup process,
though in the case being considered this most likely will not be an issue, because the files
will not be too large. The encryption settings are available only for password-protected
archives.
