Fixed size
Enter the desired file size or select it from the drop-down list. The backup will then be split into
multiple files of the specified size. This comes in handy when creating a backup that you plan to burn
to multiple CDs or DVDs later on. You might also want to split the backup destined to an FTP server,
since data recovery directly from an FTP server requires the backup to be split into files no more than
2GB in size.
4.7.6 Compression level
This option is effective for Windows and Linux operating systems and bootable media.
The option defines the level of compression applied to the data being backed up.
The preset is: Normal.
The optimal data compression level depends on the type of data being backed up. For example, even
maximum compression will not significantly reduce the archive size if the archive contains essentially
compressed files, such as .jpg, .pdf or .mp3. However, formats such as .doc or .xls will be compressed
well.
To specify the compression level
Select one of the following:
None the data will be copied as is, without any compression. The resulting backup size will be
maximal.
Normal recommended in most cases.
High the resulting backup size will typically be less than for the Normal level.
Maximum the data will be compressed as much as possible. The backup duration will be
maximal. You may want to select maximum compression when backing up to removable media
to reduce the number of blank disks required.
4.7.7 Disaster recovery plan (DRP)
This option is effective for Windows and Linux but is not applicable to bootable media.
Disaster recovery plan (DRP) contains a list of backed up data items and detailed instructions that
guide a user through a process of recovering these items from a backup.
If the Disaster recovery plan (DRP) option is enabled, a DRP is created and sent by e-mail to the
specified list of users after the first successful backup performed by the backup plan. The DRP will be
created and sent again after the first successful backup in the following cases:
The backup plan has been edited so that the DRP parameters changed.
The backup contains new data items or does not contain items previously backed up. (This does
not apply to such data items as files or folders.)
If multiple machines are protected by a backup plan, then a separate DRP is sent for each machine.
DRP and post-backup commands
Note that the DRP will not automatically change if post-backup commands in your backup plan copy
or move the backups from the original location. The DRP points only to the locations specified in the
backup plan.
