6.2.9. Backup schemes

Choose one of the available backup schemes:

• Back up now – to create a backup task for manual start and run the task immediately after its

creation.

• Back up later – to create a backup task for manual start OR schedule one-time task execution in

the future.

• Simple – to schedule when and how often to backup data and specify retention rules.

• Grandfather-Father-Son – to use the Grandfather-Father-Son backup scheme. The scheme does

not allow data to be backed up more than once a day. You set the days of week when the daily

backup will be performed and select from these days the day of weekly/monthly backup. Then

you set the retention periods for the daily (referred to as "sons"), weekly (referred to as

"fathers") and monthly (referred to as "grandfathers") backups. The expired backups will be

deleted automatically.

• Tower of Hanoi – to use the Tower of Hanoi backup scheme, where you schedule when and how

often to back up (sessions) and select the number of backup levels (up to 16). In this scheme, the

data can be backed up more than once a day. By setting up the backup schedule and selecting

backup levels, you automatically obtain the rollback period – the guaranteed number of sessions

that you can go back at any time. The automatic cleanup mechanism maintains the required

rollback period by deleting the expired backups and keeping the most recent backups of each

level.

• Custom – to create a custom scheme, where you are free to set up a backup strategy in the way

your enterprise needs it most: specify multiple schedules for different backup types, add

conditions and specify the retention rules.

6.2.9.1. Back up now scheme

With the Back up now scheme, the backup will be performed immediately, right after you click the

OK button at the bottom of the page.

In the Backup type field, select whether you want to create a full, incremental or differential backup

(p. 33).

6.2.9.2. Back up later scheme

With the Back up later scheme, the backup will be performed only once, at the date and time you

specify.

Specify the appropriate settings as follows

Backup type

Select the type of backup: full, incremental, or differential. If there is no full backup in

the archive, a full backup will be created regardless of your selection.

Date and time Specify when to start the backup.

The task will be

started manually

Select this check box, if you do not need to put the backup task on a schedule and

wish to start it manually afterwards.
