Backing up data

About backup methods and types

Standard Backup: This method can be used to perform Full or Level 0 backups of the selected volumes. The Standard Backup method is the only method available with Data ONTAP versions older than 8.1.1 and Plug‑in for SnapMirror to Tape versions older than 7.6.x.
Block Level Incremental (BLI) Backup: This method can be used to perform Full, Incremental, and Differential Backups of the selected volumes. The BLI Backup method uses snapshots to perform backups. A Full Backup initializes a backup context against which the plug-in performs Incremental and Differential Backups of the selected volumes.
Full Backup: A Full Backup provides a backup of the entire volume. These backups serve as the base backups for subsequent Incremental and Differential Backups.
Incremental Backup: An Incremental Backup provides a backup of the changes in a volume since the last Full, Differential, or Incremental Backup. Incremental Backups consume minimum storage space and are quicker to perform. However, data recovery can take more time depending on the number of savesets that the plug-in is required to restore.
Differential Backup: A Differential Backup provides a backup of the changes in a volume since the last Full Backup. Differential Backups speed up recovery since the plug-in is required to restore only two savesets. However, these backups consume more storage space and take more time to complete than the Incremental Backups. Differential Backups duplicate the data backed up by previous backups of the same type.
