General Options

This section contains a set of general options that will be taken into account during any operation carried out with the

program:

 Enable data loss protection. Mark the checkbox to make the program work in the fail-safe mode (also referred

to as the data-loss protection mode), which ensures reliability for operations by maintaining a special journal. In

case of a hardware malfunction, power outage or an OS failure happened in the middle of a data-sensitive

operation (resize, move, merge, redistribute, change cluster size, etc.), the program will ask to insert the

bootable recovery media and automatically complete the interrupted operation, thus reviving the corrupted

partition.

It is strongly recommended to enable this option.

 Enable Initial Backup reminders. If this option is marked, the program will automatically offer to make a backup

before accomplishing any critical partitioning operation, thus minimizing the risk of data loss.
