Options Window

The Options window allows you to set options that affect how the

database backup should be carried out.

Number of Parallel backups. Enter the number of threads that the

system should spawn to perform the backup in parallel. This option is

useful when there is more than one database to be backed up. The default

value is 1.

Use file-based backup. This is the default method for backing up the

database(s).

Backup to. Enter the path to the directory where the source SQL Server

instance will place the backup files. Use the (…) button to browse for a

directory. The folder browser dialog lists only the directories accessible in

respect to the local machine on which MxMigrate is running.

Restore from. Enter the path to the directory where the target SQL Server

instance will pick up the backup files. Use the (…) button to browse for a

directory. The folder browser dialog lists only the directories accessible in

respect to the local machine on which MxMigrate is running.
