Image Backup Options Dialog

The Image Backup Options dialog lets you configure backup jobs.

The Image Backup Options dialog contains the following fields:

These settings take precedence over machine options: Indicates that the settings on this dialog override any options that you may have specified on the node.

The dialog has the following options:

Enable file level restore (Slows down backups for NTFS volumes): Enables restoring at the file level. However, this slows down the process when you back up NTFS volumes, because the IO has to generate the file/folder information by parsing the file system layout on the disk.
Add file records to database: Adds details of files to the database. This is helpful when you choose to enable restoring at file level, as the backup sessions will have the details of files in the database. If you do not add these details to the database, when you restore at the file level, you will have to merge the backup sessions with the file details before restoring.

The following fields let you specify the action when a volume freeze fails:

Fail backup immediately

Stops the backup process when a volume freeze fails.

Continue with backup

Continues with the backup process although a volume freeze has failed.

Retry specified number of times then fail backup

Attempts to continue the backup process for a preset number of times.

Number of retries: Specifies the number of times that the option attempts to complete the backup process.
Interval between retries (mins): Specifies the number of minutes that the option waits after a failed backup attempt.
