Configuring Backup Exec System Recovery default options

The Options dialog box includes several views that let you configure the following default settings:

Options Description
General Specify a default location where a backup will create and store recovery points and file and folder backup data. If the location you choose is on a network, you can enter your user authentication information.

 
Performance Lets you specify a default speed for backup or recovery processes. Moving the slider closer to Fast increases the speed at which the program backs up or recovers your computer. However, choosing a slower speed could improve the performance of your computer, especially if you are working on your computer during a backup or recovery.

Note:
During a backup or recovery, you have the option to override this default setting to fit your needs at the time.

You can also configure network throttling to limit the effects of backups on network performance.

 

 
Tray Icon You can turn the system tray icon on or off and specify whether to show only error messages when they occur, or to show both error messages and other information, such as the completion of a backup.

 
File Types Lets you manage file types and file type categories, which are used as a method for selecting the types of files you want included in a file and folder backup.

 
Google Desktop If Google Desktop is installed on your computer when you install Backup Exec System Recovery, you have the option of enabling Google Desktop file and folder recovery. When you enable this feature, you can search for files (by file name) inside a recovery point that was created with search engine support enabled.

If Google Desktop is not installed on your computer when you install Backup Exec System Recovery, you have the option of clicking a link to the Web site where you can download and install Google Desktop for free.

 
External Drives Delete or rename the unique names you have given to external drives used as backup and Offsite Copy destinations.

 
Configure FTP Specify default FTP settings to be used with Offsite Copy.

 
Log File Lets you specify the types of product messages to log (errors, warnings, and information), where to store the log file, and set a maximum file size for the log file.

 
Event Log Lets you specify the types of product messages to log (errors, warnings, and information) in the Windows event log.

 
SMTP E-mail If you want a history of actions taken by Backup Exec System Recovery, or of error messages and warnings, you can choose to save them in a log file on your computer, or to have them emailed to an address you specify.

 
SNMP Trap If you have a Network Management System (NMS) application, you can enable SNMP Traps support to send notifications to you NMS application.

  1. Start Backup Exec System Recovery and click Tasks > Options.
