you choose is on a network, you can enter your user
authentication information.

Lets you specify a default speed for backup or recovery
processes. When you move the slider closer to Fast, it increases
the speed at which the program backs up or recovers your
computer. If you choose a slower speed it could improve the
performance of your computer, especially if you work on your
computer during a backup or recovery.
Note:
During a backup or recovery, you have the option to
override this default setting to fit your needs at the time.
You can also configure network throttling to limit the effects
of backups on network performance.

performance" on page 39.

You can turn on or off the system tray icon. You can also
specify whether to show only error messages when they occur,
or to show both error messages and other information, such
as the completion of a backup.
