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.
Run Incremental Backup
Specifies the options for running an Incremental backup either immediately before a Synthetic Full backup or immediately after a successfully completed Synthetic Full backup when selected. When cleared, an Incremental backup is not automatically run either immediately before or after the Synthetic Full backup.
-
Before Synthetic Full: Specifies the operation will back up any data that is new or changed since the previous backup in order to have it included as part of the Synthetic Full backup.
-
After Synthetic Full: Specifies the operation will back up any data that is new or changed since the backup that occurred prior to the Synthetic Full backup.
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/archive options, such as create a new index, start new media, and mark 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.
