-no_share[_info]
If this option is specified, share information for directories on Windows systems
is not backed up. By default, if a directory was shared on the network when a
backup was run, the share information for directory is backed up, unless the
-no_share[_info] option is specified.
Backing up share information for shared directories enables you to automatically
share such directories after restore.
-[no_]nthlinks
If this option is specified then NTFS hardlink detection is disabled and NTFS hard
links are backed up as normal files. This speeds up the first traversal of the
filesystem.
-[no_]archatt
By default, Data Protector uses the archive attribute as an incremental backup
criterion and also clears the file's archive attribute after the file is backed up.
The archive attribute is automatically set by the system when the file's content,
properties, name, or location changes.
If archive attributes cannot be cleared, an error is reported. This affects future
incremental backups, so that the files are backed up, although they have not
changed. This may happen when backing up removable media with write
protection.
In the case of ZDB, archive attributes are cleared on the replica and this is not
reflected on the source volume. As a result, in the next incremental ZDB session,
when a new replica is created, the archive attributes appear again and the
corresponding files are backed up although they may not have changed. To
enhance the incremental ZDB behavior, specify the -[no_]archatt option.
If the -[no_]archatt option is specified, Data Protector ignores archive
attributes and detects changed files using other criteria, such as the file's
modification time.
-vss [fallback]
If the -vss option is specified, the VSS filesystem backup is performed. If the
shadow copy creation on the system where the VSS filesystem backup is running,
fails, the backup also fails by default. However, you can avoid backup failure
by specifying the fallback option. In this case, the backup will continue as
the normal filesystem backup.
-async
If this option is specified, Disk Agent performs asynchronous reading from the
disk without using Windows cache manager. Concurrent reads of the same file
are started simultaneously. If this option is not specified, synchronous reading
from the disk is performed.
