Stealth Mode for Intra-Daily Backups

Intra-daily backups can generate frequent and often unnecessary interruptions and log activity. Stealth Mode solves this problem by suppressing non-essential notifications and logs:


Suppress the Backup Start dialog.

Never show the Backup Start dialog that is shown when a scheduled backup is triggered. 
Note:  This overrides the default setting for the dialog. 
Only show Failed, Cancelled and Warning completion notifications.Taskbar popups and notifications will not be shown for successful backups. 

Only generate essential logs.

__________________________________

Logs will only be generated for Failed, Warning or Cancelled backups, and File and Folder backups when any file is changed, added or removed. 

____________________________________________________________________


Intra-Daily Stealth mode is enabled by default, and if an Intra-daily schedule is selected then the following dialog is shown:

Destination Drive Discovery

Option

Description

Use assigned drive letter (default)

The drive letter in the destination path is used exclusively to locate the backup target path.
The destination path is saved in the format '<DRIVE LETTER>:\Folder\'

This enables multiple backup drives to be used in rotation if Windows assigns the same drive letter for each drive.

Use volume GUID path

The unique volume identifier associated with the backup drive is saved in the backup definition file and used to locate the destination path.
The destination path is saved in the format '\\?\Volume{GUID}\Folder\'

This enables Windows to assign a different letter to the same drive and the new letter will be automatically chosen as the backup destination.

Note: If 'Use volume GUID path' is selected you must edit/re-save existing backup definitions to reflect the change in the XML file.
