Full Backups only: You can choose to perform only Full Backups if the backup size is small, backup window is not an issue, or storage media is not a constraint. In such scenarios, you can schedule Full Backups every night or every N hours depending on the frequency of updates. |
• |
Full and Incremental Backups: For quicker backups and minimum use of storage media, you can include Full and Incremental Backups in your strategy. For example, you can schedule Full Backups every Sunday and Incremental Backups every day or every N hours depending on the frequency of updates. |
• |
Full and Differential Backups: For quicker restores and reduced media usage, you can include Full and Differential Backups in your strategy. For example, you can schedule Full Backups every Sunday and Differential Backups every day or every N hours depending on the frequency of updates. |

Windows System State Backups: For System State backups on Windows, you can choose either of the following strategies: |

When you stop the job, the plug-in generates an index for all items that have been processed up to that point and writes the index to the backup media and NetVault Database. The job status is then set to Job Stopped. If the plug-in is writing a large backup index, the jobs status continues to be reported as “Writing to Media: Storing Backup Index” until the index is written. When you restart the job later, the plug-in runs an Incremental Backup job to back up the remaining files and folders.
You can stop and resume a job from the Job Status page. For more information, see Stopping a job and Restarting a job. | |
The value configured for the Maximum Concurrent Streams option determines the number of child processes that are started concurrently on the client. For example, if there are six selection groups (five drives and one network share), and this option is set to 4, four child processes are started on the client. After acquiring the backup device and media, a child process generates a backup stream to back up the items within the selection group. When a child process completes its task, another child process is then started to back up the next selection group. This process continues until all selection groups are backed up.
NOTE: The default and user-defined Backup Options Sets created using a pre-11.0 version of the plug-in do not include this option. To enable the multi-stream option for jobs that were created with a pre-11.0 version of the plug-in, edit the job and assign a Backup Options Set that includes the Maximum Concurrent Streams option. | |
