Backup Wizard Option Panel

Backup Set Name - The name of the backup set. The name is required. The name can be up to 255 characters long.
The name appears on the Restore tab when you select the backup set to review and restore.

Backup Set Description - Provides additional information about the backup set. Use this optional property to document details that helps you select the correct backup set during restore operations and general administrative activities.

Enable compression - When selected, Metalogix Backup for SharePoint compresses the data in the backup set. Compressing the data makes the backup set smaller. Compressed data is also often faster to transfer on your network.

If you enable encryption, you must specify a password. When you restore from the backup set, you must provide the same password to decrypt the backup.

This option is normally used if SQL Server backups are already being taken separately from Backup, and Backup should not interfere in the existing process.
