Pre/Post Commands; Compression Level - ACRONIS RECOVERY - FOR MS SQL SERVER Manual

5.3.1 Pre/Post Commands

You can specify commands (or even batch files) that will be automatically executed
before and after the backup procedure. For example, you may want to start/stop
certain Windows processes, or check your data before starting the backup operation.
You can use commands set by default, as well as specify your own commands.
Select Use commands, type commands manually or click Edit to configure the
command:
• Select commands to be executed before the backup process starts in the
Before backup process field. To create a new command or select a new
batch file click the Edit button.
• Select the command to be executed after the backup process ends in the
After backup process field. To create a new command or select a new
batch file click the Edit button.

5.3.2 Compression Level

Select the compression level for the backup. With higher compression ratios the
archive file size will be smaller but the backup process may take longer.
You can choose one of the compression levels for a backup archive:
• None - the data will be copied without any compression
• Normal - the recommended data compression level (set by default)
• High - higher archive compression level
• Maximum - maximum backup archive compression
• Ultimate – ultimate level of compression
Generally, it is recommended to use the default Normal compression level. You might
want to select Maximum compression so the backup archive occupies less storage
space.
