You may also alter the buffer size of the backup by entering a buffer size (in Kbytes) in the Buffer size field.
This is quite useful in increasing the performance of backups when writing to different media. For example, the
default 128K buffer size may be adequate when you wrote your original disk backup file, but when copying to a
high-speed tape drive or disk, a higher buffer size (i.e. 256K to 1024K) may provide much greater backup
performance. To use the same buffer size for the destination as was used for the source, leave this field blank.
Refer to

Buffer Size

in the

profile settings

for more information.

If using Network Edition, and the destination backup is written to a disk directory, you may also change whether
only the original client host or any host may read the backup data by making the appropriate selection in the
Host read permission field. If using Workstation Edition, this field will not appear.

When your selections are complete, press the

Begin Copy

button. A dialog will appear asking you to confirm,

and after doing so a Copy Backup Status screen similar to the following will be shown:

Canceling the Operation

You may not close this window. However, if you return the prior

Copy Backup Media

screen, you may press the

Cancel button

in that window to terminate the operation.
