Set Backup Options

  • Genie9 Support2

In this part of the backup setup, users can choose to compress their data using 64-bit Zip compression ;and encrypt via highly secure 256 bit AES military encryption.

To enable compression:

  1. In the Setup wizard, go to Step 3.
  2. Mark the checkbox Enable Compression.
  3. Click Next to proceed.

To enable security:

  1. In the Setup wizard, go to Step 3.
  2. Mark the checkbox Enable Encryption.
  3. Type the encryption password ;and retype the password for confirmation. It is recommended to select a strong Encryption Password for better protection.
  4. (Optional) Mark the checkbox Encrypt File Names if you wish to have all backed up file names ciphered.
  5. Click Next to proceed.

Notes:

  • Encryption ;and compression cannot be disabled for a single backup as it causes security vulnerabilities, encryption can only be enabled or disabled if the user creates a new backup.
  • The encryption password at time of viewing or restoring encrypted data must be supplied “AS IS”. Genie Timeline does not save this password. Without supplying this password, users’ data is irretrievable; therefore, please store it in a safe place.
  • If you have a large backup, at this step Genie Timeline will ask you if you would like to schedule it to run the first backup later on.
