comment of a specific backup version in Backup Explorer.
2.8.13 Error handling
When the program encountered an error while performing backup, it stops the backup process and
displays a message, waiting for a response on how to handle the error. If you set an error handling
policy, the program will not stop the backup process and warn you about an error with a message,
but will simply handle the error according to the set rules and continue working.
You can set the following error handling policy:

Do not show messages and dialogs while processing (silent mode) (the preset is disabled) - You
can enable this setting to ignore errors during backup operations. This feature was mainly
designed for unattended backups when you cannot control the backup process. In this mode no
notifications will be displayed to you if errors occur during backup. Instead you can view the
detailed log of all operations after the backup process finishes.

Ignore bad sectors (the preset is disabled) - This option is present only for disk and partition
backups. It lets you run a backup even if there are bad sectors on the hard disk. Although most
disks do not have bad sectors, the possibility that they might occur increases during the course of
the hard disk's lifetime. If your hard drive has started making strange noises (for example, it
starts making quite loud clicking or grinding noises during operation), such noises may mean that
the hard drive is failing. When the hard drive completely fails, you can lose important data, so it
is high time to back up the drive as soon as possible. There may be a problem though – the failing
hard drive might already have bad sectors. If the Ignore bad sectors check box is left unselected,
a backup is aborted in case of read and/or write errors that could occur on the bad sectors.
Selecting this box lets you run a backup even if there are bad sectors on the hard disk ensuring
that you save as much information from the hard drive as possible.

Repeat attempt if a backup fails - This option allows you to automatically repeat a backup
attempt if the backup fails for some reason. You can configure this option by specifying two
settings - number of attempts and time interval between attempts. According to these settings,
Acronis Small Office Backup will try to back up your data until the backup is successfully created.
But if the error interrupting the backup persists, then the backup will not be created.
This option is not available, when you back up your data to a USB flash drive or USB hard drive.
2.8.14 Computer shutdown
If you know that the backup process you are configuring may take a long time, you may select the
Shut down the computer after the backup is complete check box. In this case, you will not have to
wait until the operation completion. The program will perform the backup and turn off your
computer automatically.
This option is also useful when you schedule your backups. For example, you may want to perform
backups every weekday in the evening to save all your work. Schedule the backup and select the
check box. After that you may leave your computer when you finish your work knowing that the
critical data will be backed up and the computer will be turned off.
