What backup methods are available?

Full and incremental backup methods are available through the following backup schemes.

Run now (immediate start) or Manual start (postponed start). On the first task run a full backup is created. If you run the backup task again, an incremental backup will be created.

Simple (start on schedule). The first backup is full, the later backups are incremental. With this backup scheme, you can set up a retention rule to automatically delete old backups.

An additional backup scheme that is available only for online storage is Initial seeding. This is the Run now scheme using local destination and full backup method. To use this scheme, you need a license for the Initial Seeding service.
