Backup Target  -  TAPE

 

 

 

 



Tape drive
Select the tape drive to which you want to write the backup from the list.

 


 

The backup is written to the tape directly as a 1:1 file copy

Password
The backup settings can optionally be protected with a password.


 

The password can be between one and 32 characters long. Allowed characters are: 0-9, a-z, A-Z and the symbols !%/&()?.-;+:@*<>#. The password is case-sensitive; lowercase and uppercase letters are different. Generally, longer password (with eight or more characters) are more secure than shorter passwords, and passwords with letters and numbers are more secure than those which only consist of letters.

 Shutdown computer

 

Shut down computer after backup


 

Use this option if you want the computer to be shut down automatically after backup.

Automatic Backup Verification

 

Fast CRC-Check


 

Optional CRC check after the backup for tape drives without "verify-after-write" technology.

  LTO uses an automatic verify-after-write technology to immediately check the data as it is being written.This separate verify operation doubles the number of end-to-end passes for each scheduled backup, and reduces the tape life by half.



Print Log File

 

Print log file


 

Activate this option if the log file for the backup should be printed out automatically after backup.

E-Mail Notification

 

E-mail notification


 

Z-DBackup can send e-mails to a user-defined e-mail address. This option is especially useful for system administrators who want to use Z-DBackup on remote servers and still be notified about all backup results. The mail contains the time, date and backup log file. You can configure the sender and recipient data in the program settings – e-mail settings .

 Fast CRC-Check

 

Fast CRC Check


 

Medium check after backup.

Link with another backup set


 

If you want to link several backup sets together to run them immediately one after the other, for example to back up data from more than one partition, you can do that with this option.

 If a backup set is linked to another backup set, the shutdown option is deactivated because only the last backup set of such a chain can shut down the computer.

  In the freeware version, backup sets cannot be linked, i.e. only the called backup set is run!
