When this option is selected, independent disks are backed up as dependent disks, and can be restored as dependent disks.

Collect File Details for Snapshot Copy

Select this option to collect file and folder information as part of IntelliSnap backups. Use this option when creating a copy for tape storage, because file and folder information is required when recovering files from tape.

Live Sync Direct Snapshot Retention

When Virtual Server Agent Snap is selected from the Available Snap Engines list, select this option and specify the number of snapshots to be retained on source VMs for Live Sync Direct operations.

When the number of snapshots on a source VM reaches this number, the oldest snapshot is pruned as part of the next backup job. Setting the snapshot retention ensures that snapshots are not retained indefinitely when they are no longer needed for Live Sync Direct operations.
