Use this dialog box to schedule or immediately run a backup/archive job.
Select Database Backup Type
Full
Specifies the job as a Full backup, which backs up all data for the selected subclient(s).
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.
If applicable for your agent, the Verify Synthetic Full option in the Advanced Backup Options dialog box will include never-changing files in the next backup. This option is enabled by default.
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.
