The following section describes each option setting and some of the possible ways each might be used.

Backup Modes

Backup mode

The Backup mode is either Full, Incremental, Differential or Copy. For scheduled automatic rotation jobs,
Data Protector Express uses the backup mode for each backup set as indicated on the Schedule page; for
unscheduled or manual jobs, Data Protector Express uses the settings set by the user.
For more information, see
Full This setting instructs Data Protector Express to back up all selected files. For each file, Data Protector
Express resets the archive bit in the catalog and the archive bit on disk.
Differential This setting instructs Data Protector Express to back up all selected files that have changed
since the last full backup. When a file changes, its archive bit has been set. Data Protector Express
does not reset the archive bit.
