Here you can specify general options.
The following setting options are available for backup:
Check box
Do not back up user access rights
If this check box is cleared then Nero BackItUp will also back up the access rights of files and folders if such rights have been configured. 
Note that if you clear this check box then the backup can only be restored precisely to the same account on the same computer from which the backup was made!
This function can only be performed if the data medium uses the NTFS file system. Only available for file backup.
Check box
Only run this job in case the user is logged in
Starts the backup only if the user who set up the job is logged onto the system.
If this check box is disabled, the backup is not made if the user is not logged on. In this case, Nero BackItUp asks for your user information when setting up the job.
This function can only be executed if you had scheduled the backup.
Check box
Always run this job silent
Performs the backup without displaying status messages. 
Check box
Use shadow copy
Creates a shadow copy for the file backup, i.e. open files that are being worked on can be saved. 
Only available for file backup.
Check box
Execute backup on button press
Allocates the backup job to the “Push for Backup” service. This service can be started only from an appropriately equipped external hard drive and the corresponding software with the help of the hard drive’s “Push for Backup” button, and carries out a previously defined backup automatically with Nero BackItUp.
Only available if such a hard drive is connected. Information about this feature is normally available in the Help of the respective hard drive or application.
List
Compare files by
Selects the verification type Nero BackItUp uses and by so doing increases the certainty that the same file will be replaced.
Modified Date/Time: Compares files by their change date.
NTFS change journal: Compares files using the NTFS change journal
CRC: Calculates the CRC checksum during the drive backup process. This provides additional security but requires more time.
Only available for file backup.
Check box
Ignore time difference when comparing files
Ignores a time difference in the file properties when verifying files after the backup. (Such a time difference can occur, for example, if the file is very large and the backup took some time.) 
Only available for file backup.

 

 
 
When you clear the Do not back up user access rights check box then the backup can only be restored to the account on the computer from which the backup was performed. In this case it is not possible to restore the backup on another account or computer. We recommend that you only use this function if you have extensive knowledge in access rights management.
 
 
The following setting options are available for restore:
Check box
Restore access rights of files and folders
If this check box is selected then Nero BackItUp will restore the access rights of files and folders if such rights have been saved.  
Note that if you select this check box then the backup can only be restored to precisely the same account on the same computer from which the backup was made!
This function can only be executed if the data medium uses the NTFS file system. Only available for file backup.
Check box
Always run this job silent
Performs the backup without displaying status messages.
