Options
.safe.bak
Description
Number of threads
AvailableNot Available
Allows you to specify how many threads you want SQL Safe to use to distribute the backup operation for compression across multiple processors on the target SQL Server computer. Use this setting to optimize backup performance. Select Auto to have SQL Safe determine the optimal thread count for your environment.
Remove inactive transaction log entries
Not AvailableNot Available
Removes all completed transactions from the transaction log after SQL Safe finishes the backup. This option is only available for Log backups.
Generate maps (for InstantRestore and SQL virtual database)
AvailableNot Available
Generates maps containing metadata for each database included in your backup file. Depending on the number of transactions completed since your last backup, generating maps may impact the performance of the backup operation. Generating maps is optional but must exist in the backup file for InstantRestore to accept and restore that file. SQL virtual database can attach SQL Safe backup files without the metadata, but the data files improve SQL VDB performance during creation of the virtual database. For more information, see Recover objects using SQL virtual database. This option is selected by default.
Include database logins in backup file
Available

Not Available

 

Copies SQL login information for the selected databases, including credentials and privileges, when the backup files are written. To help ensure the security of your SQL Server database, SQL Safe encrypts the login information. This option is available for full backups only.
Note

Advanced options are only available when performing backups using the SQL Safe file format.

What are the advanced options for SQL Server 2005 and later?

The following options are available as Advanced Options for SQL Server 2005 and later:

OptionsDescription
Generate checksumsGenerates a checksum for the backup file.
Ignore checksum errorsSelect this option to ignore any errors from the generated checksum. If checksum errors are encountered, this option indicates that SQL Safe should continue to back up this database.
Read-write filegroupsSpecifies a partial backup, which includes the primary filegroup and any read-write secondary filegroups. Read-write filegroups are not supported by SQL virtual database. If this option is selected, the Generate metadata option will be disabled. Additionally, backups created with the read-write filegroups option cannot be used by SQL virtual database to create virtual databases.

After configuring the options for your backup, go to Configuring Notifications.
