About backup options

Options are not required, but can be used to configure additional backup settings. For example, you can use options to select the disk device and verify level used for a backup, or to run pre- or post-backup commands. Before running a backup or creating a schedule, set up the options needed for the clients you wish to protect.

If no options are applied, backups are written to the default D2DBackups device and an associated file-level verify is run for each backup job.
