Access credentials for location

Specify credentials required for access to the location where the backup archive will be stored. The
user name of these credentials will be considered as the archive owner.
To specify credentials
1. Select one of the following:

Use the policy credentials
The program will access the location using the credentials of the backup policy specified in
the General section.
 Use the following credentials
The program will access the location using the credentials you specify. Use this option if the
policy credentials do not have access permissions to the location. You might need to provide
special credentials for a network share or a storage node.
Specify:

User name. When entering the name of an Active Directory user account, be sure to also
specify the domain name (DOMAIN\Username or Username@domain)

Password. The password for the account.
2. Click OK.
Warning: According to the original FTP specification, credentials required for access to FTP servers are
transferred through a network as plaintext. This means that the user name and password can be intercepted by
an eavesdropper using a packet sniffer.

Backup scheme selection

Choose one of the available backup schemes:

Back up now – to create a backup task for manual start and run the task immediately after its
creation.

Back up later – to create a backup task for manual start OR schedule one-time task execution in
the future.
 Simple – to schedule when and how often to backup data and specify retention rules.

Grandfather-Father-Son – to use the Grandfather-Father-Son backup scheme. The scheme does
not allow data to be backed up more than once a day. You set the days of week when the daily
backup will be performed and select from these days the day of weekly/monthly backup. Then
you set the retention periods for the daily (referred to as "sons"), weekly (referred to as
"fathers") and monthly (referred to as "grandfathers") backups. The expired backups will be
deleted automatically.
 Tower of Hanoi – to use the Tower of Hanoi backup scheme, where you schedule when and how
often to back up (sessions) and select the number of backup levels (up to 16). In this scheme, the
data can be backed up more than once a day. By setting up the backup schedule and selecting
backup levels, you automatically obtain the rollback period – the guaranteed number of sessions
that you can go back at any time. The automatic cleanup mechanism maintains the required
rollback period by deleting the expired backups and keeping the most recent backups of each
level.
