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.
Restart the machine automatically after backup is finished
This option is available only when operating under bootable media.
The preset is: Disabled.
When the option is enabled, Acronis Backup will restart the machine after the backup process is
completed.
For example, if the machine boots from a hard disk drive by default and you select this check box, the
machine will be restarted and the operating system will start as soon as the bootable agent has
finished creating the backup.
Deduplicate backup only after transferring it to the vault (do not deduplicate at
source)
This option is available only in Acronis Backup Advanced.
This option is effective for Windows and Linux operating systems and bootable media, when the
backup destination is a deduplicating vault.
The preset is: Disabled.
Enabling this option turns off deduplicating backups at source, meaning that deduplication will be
performed by Acronis Backup Storage Node after the backup is saved to the vault (this is called
deduplication at target).
Turning off deduplication at source may lead to faster backup processes but greater network traffic
and heavier load of the storage node. The eventual size of the backup in the vault is independent of
whether deduplication at source is turned on.
Deduplication at source and deduplication at target are described in Deduplication overview (p. 226).
4.7.2 Archive protection
This option is effective for Windows and Linux operating systems and bootable media.
This option is effective for both disk-level and file-level backup.
This option defines whether the archive will be protected with a password and whether the archive’s
content will be encrypted.
This option is not available when the archive already contains backups. For example, this option may
not be available:
