# Step 8. Specify Advanced Backup Settings

At the **Advanced** step of the wizard, specify advanced settings for the backup job:

- [Data encryption settings](backup_job_encryption.md)
- [File indexing settings](backup_job_indexing.md)
- [Active full backup settings](backup_job_active_full.md)
- [Backup maintenance settings](backup_job_maintenance.md)
- [Script settings](backup_job_scripts.md)

::: note

Consider the following:

- You cannot specify encryption settings for the backup job if you have chosen to save backup files on a Veeam backup repository. Encryption options for Veeam Agent backup jobs targeted at the backup repository are managed by a backup administrator working with Veeam Backup & Replication. To learn more about data encryption capabilities available in Veeam Backup & Replication, see the [Data Encryption](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/data_encryption.html?ver=100) section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
- You can specify backup maintenance settings only if you have selected the **Veeam Backup & Replication** option at the [Destination](backup_job_target.md) step of the wizard.
- You cannot specify data compression settings when you configure a backup job with the Backup Job wizard. If you want to specify these settings, consider creating the backup job with the Veeam Agent command line interface. To learn more, see [Advanced Backup Job Settings](backup_job_create_file-level.md).
