For more information see Chapter 8. Scheduling tasks. 5.2.4 Backup method Select whether you want to create a full, incremental or differential backup. If you have not backed up the selected data yet, or the full archive is old and you want to create a new master backup file, choose full backup. Otherwise it is recommended that you create an incremental or differential backup (see 3.2 Full, incremental and differential backups). If you select the Full method, the Automatic consolidation step (see 5.2.7 Setting automatic consolidation) will be disabled. If you are adding a backup to the existing backup archive, the Full method will be unselectable. You can set a backup policy for the backup task. Seagate BlackArmor Backup offers three types of backup policies: 1) create full backups only 2) create full backups after a specified number of incremental backups 3) create full backups after a specified number of differential backups When the first backup on a schedule is executed, a full backup will be created. If you choose (2) or (3) by selecting the Create a new full backup after box, the next backups will be incremental (or differential) until the specified number of incremental (differential) backups is reached. After the selected number of incremental or differential backups is made, the next time a new full backup and a set of subsequent incremental (differential) backups will be created; this process will then continue until you decide to change it. When the Remove old archives box is selected, creation of a new full backup in accordance with the specified backup policy results in deletion of the complete old backup chain - the old full backup and its subsequent incremental (or differential) backups regardless of the overall limitations you set on the archive at the Automatic consolidation step.
