SQL Backup Master Help

General global options include:

•Language - Select your preferred language. The client application will be restarted after changing this selection.

•Default startup view - Select either the Backup dashboard or Backup job listing views to appear by default when you start SQL Backup Master.

•Check for updates automatically - Checks for newer program versions when the application starts.

•Send crash reports automatically - Sends an anonymous application crash report to Key Metric Software in the event of an unexpected failure.

•Use hardware graphics rendering mode - When enabled, allows your computer's graphics hardware to be used to render the SQL Backup Master client user interface. Disabling this switch to defer to software-only based rendering.

•History retention - Determines how long backup history entries will be retained. Changing this setting will impact data availability for some reports and dashboard views that use it.

•Enable automatic log file processing - Use this option to automatically process the log files that are created by SQL Backup Master. If you disable this option, we recommend that you devise some other strategy for limiting the accumulation of log files.

Default Backup Settings

Here you can create a default set of backup job settings that will be applied to newly created backup jobs.

Important: Default job settings are not applied to existing backup jobs. Use the backup job settings sync tool for that purpose.
