Features Backup Types

Which types of backups does SecureBackup support?

There are different types of backup, and the type of backup that you set defines how the data is copied from your source to your destination, and also defines how a backup is stored and structured at your destination. Securebackup allows you to configure three different types of backups : Full, Differential, and Incremental

The table below provides an overview comparison between these backup types:

Backup type Data backed up Backup time Restore time Storage time
FULL All data Slowest Fast High
INCREMENTAL (recommended) Only new or modified data  Fast Moderate Lowest
DIFFERENTIAL All new or modified data since last full backup Moderate Fast Moderate
  1. Full Backup - a complete copy of all selected data Full Backup
  2. Incremental Backup - copies data that has changed since the last incremental backup was run Incremental Backup
  3. Differential Backup - copies the data that has changed since the last full backup Differential Backup
