Using the archives table
To assist you with choosing the right location, the table displays the names of the archives contained
in each location you select. While you are reviewing the location content, archives can be added,
deleted or modified by another user or by the program itself according to scheduled operations. Use
the Refresh button to refresh the list of archives.
6.4.5 Access credentials for source
Specify the credentials required for access to the location where the backup archive is stored.
To specify credentials
1. Select one of the following:
 Use the task credentials
The program will access the location using the credentials of the task account specified in the
General section.
 Use the following credentials
The program will access the location using the credentials you specify. Use this option if the
task account does not have access permissions to the location. You might need to provide
special credentials for a network share or a storage node vault.
Specify:
 User name. When entering the name of an Active Directory user account, be sure to also
specify the domain name (DOMAIN\Username or Username@domain)
 Password. The password for the account.
2. Click OK.
According to the original FTP specification, credentials required for access to FTP servers are transferred
through a network as plaintext. This means that the user name and password can be intercepted by an
eavesdropper using a packet sniffer.
6.4.6 When to validate
As validation is a resource-intensive operation, it makes sense to schedule validation to the managed
machine's off-peak period. On the other hand, if you prefer to be immediately informed whether the
data is not corrupted and can be successfully recovered, consider starting validation right after the
task creation.
Choose one of the following:
 Now - to start the validation task right after its creation, that is, after clicking OK on the
Validation page.
 Later - to start the one-time validation task, at the date and time you specify.
Specify the appropriate parameters as follows:
 Date and time - the date and time when to start the task.
 The task will be started manually (do not schedule the task) - select this check box, if you
wish to start the task manually later.
 On schedule - to schedule the task. To learn more about how to configure the scheduling
parameters, please see the Scheduling (p. 165) section.
