The results can vary depending on the types of files that are saved in the drive.

Verify recovery point after creation

Select this option to automatically test whether a recovery point or set of files is valid or corrupt.

Limit the number of recovery point sets saved for this backup

Select this option to limit the number of recovery point sets that can be saved for this backup. You can limit the number of recovery point sets to reduce the risk of filling up the hard drive with recovery points. Each new recovery point set replaces the oldest set on your backup destination drive.

This option only appears if you are creating a recovery point set.

Enable search engine support

Select this option to let a search engine, such as Google Desktop, index all of the file names that are contained in each recovery point. By indexing the file names, you can then use your search engine to locate files you want to restore.

This option is for NTFS file systems only.

See About using a search engine to search recovery points.

Include system and temporary files

Select this option to include indexing support for operating system and temporary files when a recovery point is created on the client computer.
