1.6.1.2 Backup options

On the Options tab, configure the parameters of the backup operation.

Encryption

Specify the password to be used for encrypting the backups. The password prompt will appear when

someone tries to delete a backup or recover data from it.

The backups will be encrypted with the AES-256 encryption algorithm.

The password is not stored anywhere on the disk or in the backup file. Make sure you remember the

password. Recovering a lost password is not possible.

If you edit the backup plan (p. 15) and change or remove the password, the retention rules will no

longer apply to the backups with the old encryption setting. Also, separate entries will be shown in

the backup storage for sets of backups with different encryption settings. During recovery, you will

need to select the correct entry and type the correct password.

Notifications

Specify whether to send e-mail notifications after a successful backup, after a failed backup, or both.

Specify the address to send the notifications. Separate multiple e-mail addresses with a semicolon.

For example: user1@example.com; user2@example.com

The notifications will be sent from the e-mail address specified by a system administrator.

Exclusions

Type one or more criteria. Files and folders that match any of the specified criteria will not be backed

up.
