When you choose to encrypt an archive, you must assign a password. For security reasons, SQL Safe Backup does not store this password. Ensure you remember the password you select.

| Options | Description |
|---|---|
| Number of threads | Allows you to specify how many threads you want SQL Safe Backup 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 Backup determine the optimal thread count for your environment. |
| Remove inactive transaction log entries | Removes all completed transactions from the transaction log after SQL Safe Backup finishes the backup. This option is only available for Log backups. |
| Generate maps (for InstantRestore and SQL virtual database) | 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 | Copies SQL login information for the selected databases, including credentials and privileges, when the backup files are written. To help you ensure the security of your SQL Server database, SQL Safe Backup encrypts the login information. This option is available for full backups only. |
...
| Options | Description |
|---|---|
| Generate checksums | Generates a checksum for the backup file. |
| Ignore checksum errors | Select this option to ignore any errors from the generated checksum. If checksum errors are encountered, this option indicates that SQL Safe Backup should continue to back up this database. |
| Read-write filegroups | Specifies 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. |
