DESCRIPTION

Backup Type

Choose the backup type that you want the NSA to implement 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.
