4.7.20 Replication/cleanup inactivity time

This option is effective only if you set up replication or retention rules (p. 95) for the backups.

This option defines a time period when starting replication or applying retention rules is not allowed.
The operations will be performed when the inactivity time ends, if the machine is powered on at that
moment. The operations that had started before the inactivity time began continue without
interruption.

The inactivity time affects all locations, including the primary one.

The preset is: Disabled.

To specify the inactivity time, select the Do not start replication/cleanup within the following time
check box, and then select the days and the time period during the day.

Usage example

You may want to use this option to separate the backup process from replication or cleanup. For
example, suppose that you back up machines locally during the day and replicate the backups to a
network folder. Make the inactivity time contain the working hours. Replication will be performed
after the working hours, when network load is lower.

4.7.21 Sector-by-sector backup

The option is effective only for disk-level backup.

To create an exact copy of a disk or volume on a physical level, select the Back up sector-by-sector
check box. The resulting backup will be equal in size to the disk being backed up (if the Compression
level
(p. 111) option is set to None). Use the sector-by-sector backup for backing up drives with
unrecognized or unsupported file systems and other proprietary data formats.

4.7.22 Tape management

These options are effective when the backup destination is a tape device.

Use a separate tape set for each single machine

The preset is: Disabled.

Tapes within one pool can be grouped into so-called tape sets.
