Backup Type | Choose the backup type the NSA implements for the backup job. |
| Archive - This is a backup of the source folder in an archive format. Once you backup your |
| files in the target folder, you cannot access the files individually unless you have the |
| extracting tool used by the NSA. If there are existing files in the target folder prior to the |
| NSA’s backup job, the files remain undisturbed. You can also choose between the following |
| types of archive: |
| • Full - The NSA does a fresh backup each time. This provides the most protection but |
| also requires the most storage space. |
| • Incremental - The NSA backs up new or modified files from the source folder since the |
| last backup. The first backup is a full backup. You can also do a full backup after several |
| incremental backups. Enter how many incremental backups the NSA runs before it |
| performs a full backup of the source folder. You must keep the latest full backup to be |
| able to restore the files later. |
| Synchronization - This does a backup of individual files. If you use this type, you cannot |
| use the Restore feature of the NSA. You can also choose between the following types of |
| synchronization: |
| • Mirror - The NSA deletes all data in the target folder before running the backup. It |
| makes the target folder identical to the source folder. |
| • Publish- The NSA does a backup of individual files to the target folder without |
| overwriting existing files in that folder. It makes a copy of the source files. |
| Rsync - This synchronizes individual files to another device that supports rsync. Rsync is |
| open source and provides incremental file transfers. It only sends the differences in the |
| files through the connection so it brings the remote files into sync very quickly. |
| • The NSA deletes all data in the target folder before running the backup. It makes the |
| target folder identical to the source folder. |
| • If you use this type, you cannot use the Restore feature of the NSA. |
