'Options' control how backups are scheduled and what actions are taken on failure or for offline computers. Power saving and notification options can also be specified here. The interface appears as below:
The available options are:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Defer backups until computer is online | If this option is selected, scheduled backups cannot be performed because a computer is offline will be performed when the computer comes back online. If the option is unchecked, scheduled backups will fail if the computer is offline. |
| Send Wake On LAN message before backup | If this option is selected, Site Manager will attempt to use Wake On LAN to wake offline computers before starting a backup. If Wake On LAN attempts fail, it will behave as the 'Fail backups for offline computers' option Additionally, UDP port, number of wake attempts, and time between attempts can be set. |
| Fail backups for offline computers | If this option is selected, backups will be failed if the computer is offline and the computer will not perform a backup until the next trigger time or next retry time as set below. |
| Enable power saving options | If this option is selected, the computer can be set to shutdown, hibernate, suspend, or reboot after completing a backup. The computer can also be forced to close all programs. |
| Retry backups which fail | If a backup attempt fails, it can be retried up to the number of times specified here. |
| Allow X minutes between attempts of failed backups | The time between each attempt which amount of time that Site Manager will wait between backup attempts. May be set to between 2 and 120 minutes. Backups of other computers may occur between the retries. |
| Active Hours | When enabled, scheduled backups will only be sent to the agent between the start and end time specified. If the start and end times are the same, then the active period is 24 hours. Any scheduled or queued backups that fall outside of the active hours will be deferred until the next active hours window is reached. |
| Intra-daily Stealth Mode | When intra-daily stealth mode is enabled, backups that are triggered by intra-daily triggers will only create backup logs if there is an error or if new files/folders have been found (for file and folder backups). Instead of logs, the logs view will show a daily summary for each computer backed up |
| Disable Agent Notifications | When enabled, pop-ups are suppressed on the agent computer, so that the backup is completely silent to a user of that computer. If the user has manually launched the monitor app on the agent computer, they will receive notifications until log off. |
