User`s guide

An archive can be protected with a password. To protect the archive data from being

accessed by anybody except you, enter a password and its confirmation into the text

fields. A password should consist of at least eight symbols and contain both letters (in the

upper and lower cases preferably) and numbers to make it more difficult to guess.

If you try to restore data from a password-protected archive, or append an incremental

backup to such an archive, SonicWALL Bare Metal Recovery will ask for the password in a

special window, allowing access only to authorized users.

5.2.2 Pre/post commands

You can specify commands or batch files to be automatically executed before and after

the

backup procedure

. For example, you may want to remove some .tmp files from the

disk before starting backup or configure a third-party antivirus product to be started each

time before the backup starts. Click Edit to open the Edit Command window where you

can easily input the command, its arguments and working directory or browse folders to

find a batch file.
