popid_422061901="Standard Zip Compression and zip64 support"
popid_422061902="If the zip file size is less than 2 Gbytes, FBackup creates standard zip files. This format is compatible with any zip utility available on the market. Unlike other backup softwares, for zip files greater than 2 Gbytes, FBackup uses zip64 technology (which allows unlimited zip file size)."
popid_422061903="Backup Plugins"
popid_422061904="Starting with version 3.10 is possible to load plugins to backup\/restore the settings of specific programs. A plugin is actually an XML file that once imported in FBackup adds a predefined backup. For instance, a backup plugin for Mozilla FireFox, when loaded, will automatically add in the Predefined Backup list an entry for Firefox, so when defining a new backup job if thatÆs selected, the FireFox profiles will be added as source for the new backup."
popid_422061905="Customized Zip Names"
popid_422061906="You can customize name prefixes for the zip archives, which store your backup versions. FBackup also supports file\/folder paths longer than 260 characters (turn off file parsing)."
popid_422061907="Password Protection"
popid_422061951="You can protect your ZIP files by setting a password for each backup job. Besides normal password protection, FBackup also supports 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit AES encryption. These numbers reflect the encryption key size used to encrypt the data - a higher key strenght provides stronger encryption."
popid_422061942="Snapshots"
popid_422061943="Mirror backup type makes an exact copy of selected files and folders (copying NTFS permissions and alternate streams), including empty folders too (for an exact copy of the source). Optionally, for mirror backups you can choose to zip the backed up files individually."
popid_422061944="Disk Spanning"
popid_422061945="Automated support for splitting your backup between many removable disks or even on the same media. You can specify the maximum size of the zip archives. When performing a mirror backup and using disk spanning you can choose not to split the files. This is an useful option because you can copy your music\/movies to CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc and not have them split up when the CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc is full."
popid_422061946="Logs"
popid_422061947="The operations performed by FBackup are logged. This allows you to see the status of performed operations (backup\/test\/cleanup\/restore). A backup job\/group History view is available too (which also lets you export the information as .csv). "
popid_422061948="Command Line"
popid_422061949="A command line version of this backup application is available too (that lets you run different operations using parameters)."
popid_422061950="Restore Wizard"
popid_422061994="Restore backed up data step-by-step. Allows you to choose the version of files which will be restored and filter them to restore only the needed versions (file versioning applies to full, differential and incremental backups only). You can quickly restore the latest version of a file\/folder as well as restoring versions of files backed up at a specific date."
popid_422061985="Compatibility"
popid_422061986="You can restore data using any standard zip software. FBackup gives you this way more flexibility if you need to restore data on a different computer (if the backup was created using independent splits, see this section on how to restore correctly using 3rd party zip software)."
popid_422061987="One touch backup"
popid_422061988="Some USB enclosures have a button to start the execution of an associated program. If you have such a device, you can configure FBackup to execute a backup job or a backup group when this button is pressed (works only with certain USB enclosures)."
popid_422061989="Summary"
popid_422061990="Text description of the full setup for each backup job that allows you to easily review the information regarding the backup."
popid_422061991="Program security"
popid_422061992="FBackup offers an option to lock its interface so that when it starts you will need to provide a password in order to unlock it and be able to make changes to its settings."
popid_422061993="Test backup"
popid_422062037="The application tests the backups (using CRC32). This ensures that the files have been backed up properly and the backup is safe. You can also test the backup integrity at a later time from FBackup\'s main menu. When backing up to removable media, after each media item written the backup test is performed (for spanned backups). When backing up to FTP, the XCRC command can be used (if supported by server). This speeds up the testing as FBackup will verify the backup based on the CRC information received from server."

Most FTP sites can also monitor for devices that hammer, and once detected the server will ban access to the offending IP address either permanently or for a limited amount of time. Thus, when you set the retry times intervals in Tools->Options->FTP, you should use 60 seconds or more."

popid_530917274X="A mirror backup is identical to a full backup, with the exception that the files and folders are not compressed in zip files and they cannot be protected with a password. A mirror backup is most frequently used to create an exact copy of the backup source data. It has the benefit that the backup files can also be readily accessed using tools like Windows Explorer."
popid_1303480071="Description of the Mirror Backup Type"
popid_682934532="A mirror backup is an exact copy of the selected folders and files at a given time. Mirror backup is the fastest backup method because it copies files and folders to the destination without any compression. However, the increased speed has its drawbacks: it needs larger storage space and it cannot be password protected."
popid_682934533="While the other backup types collect all the files and folders being backed up each time into a single compressed container file, a mirror backup keeps all the individual files separately in the destination. That is, the destination becomes a mirror (exact copy) of the source. You can even directly access files in the destination without needing to use FBackup\'s restore feature, because each file is just an exact copy of the original."
popid_682934534="One handy feature of mirror backup is FBackup\'s Fast mirror option. When this option is selected, any mirror operation after the first will only copy new and modified files, making the operation very fast."

popid_643619116="Read-Only - file can be read, but not modified or deleted"
popid_643619117="Archived (unavailable when the Clear archive bit option is checked from the Backup Properties->Type window) - file attribute used for backup. When a file is created, the archive bit is turned on. When a backup program copies the file, it turns off the archive attribute."

popid_643619156="Not indexed (only NTFS) - file not indexed by the content indexing service"
popid_643619157="Offline (only NTFS) - content of the file is not immediately available. This attribute indicates that the file data has been physically moved to an offline storage."
popid_643619158="Reparse point (only NTFS) - reparse points are used as building blocks by Microsoft and third-parties to enhance NTFS file system behavior."
popid_643619159="Sparse file (only NTFS) - in a sparse file, large ranges of zeroes may not require disk allocation. Space for nonzero data will be allocated as needed as the file is written."
