The Backup Options is the advanced backup settings of Hasleo Backup Suite, which are available when creating a new backup task or editing task information.
Space is related to settings that may affect storage space, including compression, splitting and image retention policy.
Compression: Choosing different backup image compression levels can help you achieve a balance between backup performance and saved storage space. Generally speaking, a higher compression level generates smaller image files, but may take up more CPU time.
Splitting: The backup image can be split into several small files of a specified size so that they can be stored in the small storage medium, such as CD/DVD, USB drive or FAT32 partition.
Image retention policy: The image retention policy allows you to keep only the most recent backup versions, and the program will automatically merge the backup versions according to your settings after the backup is completed, which can save storage space.
Encrypt the backup image files with a password to protect your data, you need to enter the password and select the encryption strength as needed. Hasleo Backup Suite uses AES encryption algorithm to encrypt the backup image files, so it can effectively protect your data. The minimum length of the password is 6 and the maximum length is 64.
Notes: Please keep your password properly, we will not be able to help you decrypt the data after losing the password.
Set Pre-command and Post-command for the task, the command may be a program or script.
Command: Click the folder icon to specify the command to execute.
Working directory: Click the folder icon to specify the working directory of the command to be executed.
Parameter: Set parameters for the command if necessary.
Abort the operation if the command fails: Aborts the backup operation if the command fails.
Check the return value of the command: If the return value is 0, the command is considered successful, otherwise it is considered failed.
Notes: In the WinPE recovery environment, this feature may not work normally because the drive letter assigned to the partition may have been changed.
