10.10.3 Backup: Step 3
Use this screen to specify compression, encryption and purge policies for the backup job. This step is only available if you are doing an archive backup or a synchronization backup to a remote target.
Figure 143 Protect > Backup: Step 3
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 70 Protect > Backup: Step 3
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Compression | Select Yes if you want NSA to compress the files for your backup. |
| Otherwise, choose No. |
| In an Archive backup, compression is a method of packing |
| computing files in a way that saves hard disk space. |
| For a Synchronization backup (to a remote target), the source data |
| will be compressed before the transmission to reduce the |
| transmission time. It is used in slow networks only. |
|
|
Encryption | Select Yes if you want NSA to encrypt the files for your backup. |
| Otherwise, choose No. |
| In an Archive backup, this means using a password to secure files. |
| For a Synchronization backup (to a remote target), this means |
| securing the file transfer session. However the final file stored on the |
| remote NSA is unencrypted. This takes a long time. Make sure you |
| really need this feature before enabling it. |
|
|
Bandwidth | Restrict the bandwidth of synchronization backups to help stop them |
| from using all of your network connection’s available bandwidth. This |
| is more important when backing up to a remote NSA or computer |
| through the Internet. |
