Syntax

'Declaration

    Get
    Set
'Usage
Dim instance As BackupRestoreBase
Dim value As Boolean

value = instance.Checksum

instance.Checksum = value

public bool Checksum { get; set; }

public:
property bool Checksum {
    bool get ();
    void set (bool value);
}

member Checksum : bool with get, set

function get Checksum () : boolean
function set Checksum (value : boolean)

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
A Boolean value that specifies whether the checksum value is calculated.
If True, the checksum value is calculated. Otherwise, False (default).

Remarks

You can use the Checksum property to compute the checksum value during backup and restore operations. This helps to increase the reliability of backup media.

If the Checksum property is set to False, the ContinueAfterError property will be ignored.
