Validate backup archive upon operation completion The default setting ­ disabled. Verification will be performed immediately after the archive is created. To check data from an incremental backup, you must have all previous incremental backup files and the initial full backup. To check data from a differential backup, you must have the initial full backup as well. However, if you created several differential or both incremental and differential backups based on the same full backup (and therefore, in the same folder), you will need ALL of these successive backups to validate the archive. 2. Overwrite data on a tape without user confirmation The default setting ­ disabled. A full backup, when created on a tape drive, overwrites all data stored on the tape (see 3. 8 Backing up to tape drive for more information). In this situation, Acronis True Image Server for Linux will warn that you are about to lose data on the tape. Ask for first media while creating backup archives on removable media The default setting ­ enabled. You can choose whether to display the Insert First Media prompt when backing up to removable media. With the default setting, backing up to removable media may be impossible if the user is away, because the program will wait for pressing OK in the prompt box. Therefore, you should disable the prompt when scheduling a backup to removable media. Then, if the removable media is available (for example, CD-R/RW inserted) the task can run unattended.
