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.

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. 32).

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.

Simple scheme

With the simple backup scheme you just schedule when and how often to back up data and set the

retention rule. At the first time a full backup will be created. The next backups will be incremental.

To set up the simple backup scheme, specify the appropriate settings as follows.

Backup Set up the backup schedule - when and how often to back up the data.

To learn more about setting up the schedule, see the Scheduling (p. 165) section.

Retention rule With the simple scheme, only one retention rule (p. 39) is available. Set the retention

period for the backups.

 Daily incremental, weekly differential, and monthly full backups

 Custom day for weekly and monthly backups

 Custom retention periods for backups of each type

Description

Let us suppose that we want to set up a backup plan that will regularly produce a series of daily (D),

weekly (W), and monthly (M) backups. Here is a natural way to do this: the following table shows a

sample two-month period for such a plan.
