Use this dialog box to schedule or immediately run a backup job.
Select Backup Type
Full
Specifies the job as a full backup. Full backup operations back up all data for the selected subclients.
Incremental
Specifies the job as an Incremental backup, which backs up only that portion of the data that is new or has changed since the last backup.
Differential
Specifies the job as a Differential backup, which backs up only that portion of the data that is new or has changed since the last full backup.
Synthetic Full
Specifies the job as a Synthetic Full backup, which creates a Full backup from existing backup data for the selected subclient or backup set (if applicable). The Synthetic Full backup consolidates the backup data; it does not actually back up data from the client computer.

When you save an operation as a script, each option in the dialog will have a corresponding XML parameter in the script file. When executing the script, you can modify the value for any of these XML parameters.
