Incremental or Full Backup

Under Backup Options, you can select whether the backup operation is to be incremental or
full. An incremental backup only backs up selected files that are new or have been changed
since the last backup; this saves time when backing up files. A full backup backs up all the
files you select, without checking for previous backups.
You can use both incremental and full backups together. For example, you can
!
perform a full backup every month, with incremental backups each week.
