Backup Types

You can perform the following types of backups, either immediately or on a schedule.

• Full backups: Back up the entire instance. This is the most comprehensive backup.

• Incremental backups: Back up instance data that has changed since the most recent backup.

• Synthetic Full backups: Consolidate instance data from the most recent full backup with subsequent incremental backups.

For more information on backup types, see Backup Options.

• To display the Differential backup option, add the bEnableVSADifferentialBackup additional setting to the CommServe system as shown in the following table.
