4.7.1 Additional settings

Specify the additional settings for the backup operation by selecting or clearing the following check
boxes.

Ask for the first media while backing up to removable media

This option is effective only when backing up to removable media.

The option defines whether to display the Insert First Media prompt when backing up to removable
media.

The preset is: Disabled.

When the option is enabled, backing up to removable media may be not possible if the user is away,
because the program will wait for someone to press OK in the prompt box. Hence, you should disable
the prompt when scheduling a backup to removable media. Then, if the removable media is available
(for example, a DVD is inserted), the task can run unattended.

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 will reset the archive bits of all files
being backed up. Acronis Backup 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.
