Setting user preferences
Use the property pages in the Data Protection Properties window to customize Data Protection for SQL Server configuration preferences.
Before you begin
The property pages customize preferences such as logging of activity, how languages and information are displayed, and tune performance. The information about the General property page is required to back up data, but the properties are set when you complete the configuration wizard.
When configuring preferences, consider the backup strategy, resource needs, policy settings, and hardware environment of your system.

- In the navigation tree of Microsoft Management Console (MMC), select the SQL instance for which you want to edit preferences.
- Click Properties in the Actions pane.
- Edit the property page and click OK to save your changes and close the window.
