FAT16 and FAT32 file systems have a 4GB file size limit. However, the existing hard
drive's capacity can reach as much as 2TB. Therefore, an archive file might easily exceed
this limit if you are going to back up the entire disk.
If you do not have enough space to store the backup on your hard disk, the program will
warn you and wait for your decision as to how you plan to fix the problem. You can try to
free some additional space and continue or click Back and select another disk.
When backing up to a diskette, CD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW:
Workstation will ask you to insert a new disk when the previous one is full.
Alternatively, you can select Fixed size and enter the desired file size or select it from
the drop-down list. The backup will then be split into multiple files of the specified size.
That comes in handy when backing up to a hard disk with a view to burning the archive
to CD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW later on.
Creating a backup directly on CD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW generally will take considerably
more time than it would on a hard disk.
6.3.9 File-level security settings
Preserve files' security settings in archives
By default, files and folders are saved in the archive with their original Windows security
settings (i.e. permissions for read, write, execute and so on for each user or user group,
set in file Properties -> Security). If you restore a secured file/folder on a computer
without the user account, specified in the permissions, you may not be able to read or
modify this file.
You can disable preserving the files' security settings in archives to completely eliminate
this kind of problem. Then the restored files/folders will always inherit the permissions
from the folder to which they are restored (parent folder or disk, if restored to the root).
Alternatively, you can disable files' security settings during restoration, even if they are
available in the archive (see
the same - the files will inherit the permissions from the parent folder.
In archives, store encrypted files in decrypted state
The preset is disabled.
Simply ignore this option if you do not use the encryption feature available in Windows
XP. (Files/folders encryption is set in Properties -> General -> Advanced Attributes
-> Encrypt contents to secure data).
Check the option if there are encrypted files in the backup and you want them to be
accessed by any user after restore. Otherwise, only the user who encrypted the
files/folders will be able to read them. Decryption may also be useful if you are going to
restore encrypted files on another computer.
These options relate only to file/folders backup.
6.3.10 Media components
The preset is disabled.
When backing up to removable media, you can make this media bootable by writing to it
additional components. As a result, you will not need a separate rescue disk.
