Backup Options - Online Help

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

Select Database Backup Type

Full	Specifies the job as a full backup, which backs up all data for the selected subclient.
Incremental	Specifies the job as an incremental backup, which backs up only the data that is new or changed since the most recent backup.
Differential	Specifies the job as a differential backup, which backs up only the data that is new or changed since the most recent full backup.
Synthetic Full	Specifies the job as a synthetic full backup, which creates a full backup from existing backup data. A synthetic full backup consolidates the backup data, but does not actually back up data from the client computer.
Run Incremental Backup	Select this option to run an incremental backup operation, and to specify the options for running an incremental backup either immediately before a synthetic backup or immediately after a successfully completed synthetic full backup. Before Synthetic Full: The operation will back up any data that is new or changed since the most recent backup, so that the backup is included in the synthetic full backup. After Synthetic Full: The operation will back up any data that is new or changed since the backup that occurred before the synthetic full backup.
Ad-Hoc Backup	Specifies the job as an ad-hoc backup, which allows the subclient content to be specified as an external input when the backup operation starts.
Directive File	Enter the path to the directive file that defines the location of the data that you want to back up.
