The next step involves creating the Backup Options Set or selecting an existing one.
There are multiple options available: Backup Type, Maximum Number of Parallel Streams, Enable indexing for File Level Recovery, and Enable Active Block Mapping.
• |
The Backup Type section is available if the Backup Selection Set is based on a Windows Server 2016 host or cluster. Because the plug-in uses RCT to ensure that only changed blocks are sent to the Incremental or Differential Backup stream, you can indicate whether you want to complete a Full, Incremental, or Differential Backup. A Full Backup performs a complete backup of the set of items that have been selected. A Full Backup does not depend on any other backup and can be restored in a single step. An Incremental Backup backs up the set of items that have changed since the last backup. A Differential Backup backs up the set of items that have changed since the last Full Backup. |
• |
The default for Maximum Number of Parallel Streams is 4 for Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, and 2016, and 1 for Windows Server 2008 R2. If your environment uses Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, or 2016, you can increase the setting up to 32. |
• |
The Enable indexing for File Level Recovery option is disabled by default. Indexing lets you restore individual files and directories from image-level backups of VMs. |

The Enable Active Block Mapping option is enabled by default. To reduce network and storage requirements, ABM technology provides filters to remove zeroed blocks during backups. Removing these blocks reduces the backup size and the amount of data transferred over the network. If you disable ABM, the plug-in automatically uses zero-block exclusion to ensure that the zeroed blocks are excluded during backups. |

If your environment uses Windows Server 2016 or later, in the Backup Type section, select Full, Incremental, or Differential, whichever is applicable. |
3 |
In the Maximum Number of Parallel Streams box, enter the applicable number. |
4 |
If you might want to perform restores at the file level, select the Enable indexing for File Level Recovery option. |
5 |
If you want to disable ABM for any reason, clear the Enable Active Block Mapping option. |

TIP: To run a job that you have already created and saved, select Manage Job Definitions in the Navigation pane, select the applicable job, and click Run Now. |
As a result, when you select Incremental Backup for the Backup Type, the plug-in creates a Full Backup of MyVM2 in Step 4 and an Incremental of that VM in Step 5. When you select Differential Backup for the Backup Type, the plug-in creates a Full Backup of MyVM2 in Step 4 and Step 5. |
