Better Edge Backup v5.2

User Guide

5.7Temporary directory

If you are running a file backup job with in-file delta enabled or a database type backup job, Better Edge Backup will generate temporary files and the directory that will be used to store all these files are defined by [Setting] -> [Temporary directory for storing backup files]. Please set this to a non-system disk partition that has enough free space to avoid problems.

You can set the [Temporary directory for storing backup files] to a mapped network drive. If you choose to do this, please use a UNC path (e.g. \\SERVER\SHARE) and don’t forget to configure the [Backup Set] -> [Network Resources Authentication for Windows] setting.

To conserve the use of disk space, you can set the [Remove temporary files after backup] option to delete the temporary files automatically after a backup job has finished.

5.8Transfer Block Size

Transfer block size defines the block size Better Edge Backup will use to transfer your backup blocks. Generally, backup jobs using a larger block size will have better performance, because of the smaller number of connections involved.

However, some firewalls or proxy servers may block out-going network traffic (HTTP/HTTPS POST method) with large block size for security reasons. If you are in a network with this type of restriction, please lower the transfer size value and try again.

To change the transfer block size of any backup set, please select the [Setting] node on the left panel to invoke the [Setting] panel on the right. You can then make changes to the [Transfer Block Size]. After you have made your changes, just press the [Save Setting] button on the toolbar.
