Backup Options for Citrix Hypervisor (XenServer)

Use this dialog box to schedule or immediately run a backup job.

Select Backup Type

  • Full

    Specifies the job as a full backup, which backs 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.

Job Initiation

  • Immediate

    Specifies this job will run immediately.

  • Schedule

    Specifies this job will be scheduled. Click Configure to specify the schedule details.

Advanced

Click to select advanced backup options, such as creating a new index, starting new media, and marking media as full.

Save As Script

Click to open the Save As Script dialog, which allows you to save this operation and the selected options as a script file (in XML format). The script can later be executed from the Command Line Interface using qoperation execute command.

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.
