- Single File.
- Striped Files.

How do you handle errors encountered while writing to the network during a backup?
Select Enable Enable Network Resiliency and access the the Network Resiliency Settings window where you can specify how often you want to retry when errors occur and after how much time the operation will fail. You can also configure how much time is allowed for the total retry time of the backup.
