Back up data that resides on your IBM i computer.
You can run backups immediately or configure a plan that includes a schedule.
Full Backup
Backups for any client start with a full backup. For Agents that support non-full backups, the full backup becomes a baseline to which subsequent backup types are applied. For example, if an agent supports incremental backups, a full backup must be performed before an incremental backup can be initiated.
Incremental Backup
An incremental backup contains only data that is new or has changed since the last backup, regardless of the type. On average, incremental backups use less media and place less of a burden on resources than full backups.
