hard disks are down.

Performance
Decide what is most important to your operation – a strategy that requires less storage
space or faster data recovery.
Select an option:
• Quick backup and smaller backup archives - backups are created fast
and occupy less space. However, recovery requires more time and you
cannot restore data to a point-in-time. This option is set by default.
• Medium backup and recovery speed with average archive size -
backups require an average amount of disk space and backup speed is
normal. No restoration to a point-in-time.
• Quick recovery but backups require more storage space - backups
will take more time to be created and occupy more disk space in
comparison to a quick backup. Recovery is faster and there is an
opportunity to restore data to any previous point-in-time.
