6.4.5 Additional settings

1. You can choose whether to restore files’ date and time from the archive or assign the

files the current date and time.

2. Before data is restored from the archive, SonicWALL Bare Metal Recovery can check its

integrity. If you suspect that the archive might have been corrupted, select Validate

backup archive before restoration.

To check archive data integrity you must have all incremental backups belonging to the

archive and the initial full backup. If any of successive backups is missing, validation is

not possible.

6.4.6 Error handling

1. Do not show messages and dialogs while processing (“silent” mode)

The preset is disabled.

With the silent mode enabled, the program will not display interactive windows. Instead,

it will automatically handle situations requiring user intervention. No prompts will be

displayed, including those for inserting removable media. If an operation cannot continue

without user action, it will fail. Details of the operation, including errors, if any, could be

found in the operation log.

2. If an error occurs, re-attempt in (minutes)

The preset is enabled.

When the backup location on the network is not available or not reachable, the program

will attempt to reach the location at the specified time interval.
