Backup

You can modify your backup options in this page. If you have setup this backup set before, you can simply click on the [Backup] button to start your backup. In case you need to modify the backup settings such as changing the in-file delta setting, or run the retention policy after the backup, you can click on the advanced option link.

The in-file delta setting could affect the backup speed and the efficiency of restore. We would suggest to run the first backup as full, and run incremental or differential backup afterwards. If you want to know more about the in-file delta and how the settings affect the backup and restore, you can refer to the in-file delta settings.

To run a file backup set:

  1. Click on Show advanced option if you wish to configure advanced features for the backup.
  2. You can choose the in-file delta type among Full, Incremental and Differential.
  3. Note: For CloudBacko Lite, the in-file delta feature is enabled by default and cannot be turned off. Therefore, you can only select the desired in-file delta type but cannot alter its setting.
  4. You can choose the backup destination if there is more than one configured. All backup destinations are selected by default.
  5. The retention policy is an optional setting, choose this option to run the retention policy after the backup.
  6. Click on the [Backup] to start.
Refer to the links below for more information on these features.

When the backup is backing up to the storage, you can see the backup status and real time backup progress. In case you need to cancel the backup process to a storage destination, you can click on the [X] button to cancel it.

You will get an idea of the backup status by looking at the colour of the progress bar.

Green Backup completed successfully
Yellow Backup completed with warning(s)
Red Backup failed
Blue Backup in progress

Click on the [Browse] button to see the details of the backup.
