NTBackup Options Window: setting NTBackup specific options
The NTBackup Options Window is where you can configure settings that are specific to the NTBackup Method that the job was created with. NTBackup is the Windows Backup Utility that is used to perform the backup operation and has additional options that are unique to NTBackup which can be configured. Generally, the default values will work for most users but it may be necessary to alter these values, particularly when requested by the BackupAssist technical support team.
