Does BackupAssist support different types of backup (full, incremental, differential, etc)?
Yes. While the default setting for pre-defined media rotation schemes in BackupAssist is for full backups, you can customize your schedule to perform different types of backup, such as incremental and differential, on any given day within your backup schedule. The different backup types available depend on the backup engine that the job was created with. Some engines, such as Windows Imaging, File Replication, Rsync and Exchange Mailbox have their own built-in “automatic” type of backup that cannot be modified. For example, Windows Imaging jobs start with a full backup, and then incremental backups from then on, with changes being merged into the original image; past versions of the images will appear as shadow copies within the main backup, and as the backup hard drive fills up, old versions will be automatically deleted. To customize the backup schedule of a job: • From the top menu click Edit and select your job from the list. • Click Scheduling from the left menu. • Click Customize
