Reset archive bit

The option is effective only for file-level backup in Windows operating systems and in bootable

media.

The preset is: Disabled.

In Windows operating systems, each file has the File is ready for archiving attribute, available by

selecting File -> Properties -> General -> Advanced -> Archive and Index attributes. This attribute,

also known as the archive bit, is set by the operating system each time the file is changed and can be

reset by backup applications each time they include the file in a backup. The archive bit value is used

by various applications such as databases.

When the Reset archive bit check box is selected, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 will reset the

archive bits of all files being backed up. Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 itself does not use the archive

bit value. When performing incremental or differential backup, it determines whether a file has

changed by the file size and the date/time when the file was last saved.

Restart the machine automatically after backup is finished

This option is available only when operating under bootable media.

The preset is: Disabled.

When the option is enabled, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 will restart the machine after the backup

process is completed.

For example, if the machine boots from a hard disk drive by default and you select this check box, the

machine will be restarted and the operating system will start as soon as the bootable agent has

finished creating the backup.

Use FTP in Active mode

The preset is: Disabled.

Enable this option if the FTP server supports active mode and you want this mode to be used for file

transfers.

4.7.2 Archive protection

This option is effective for Windows and Linux operating systems and bootable media.

This option is effective for both disk-level and file-level backup.

This option defines whether the archive will be protected with a password and whether the archive’s

content will be encrypted.

This option is not available when the archive already contains backups. For example, this option may

not be available:

 When you specify an already existing archive as the destination of the backup plan.

 When you edit a backup plan that has already resulted in a backup.

The preset is: Disabled.

To protect the archive from unauthorized access

1. Select the Set password for the archive check box.
