You can perform the following types of backups, either immediately or on a schedule.
-
Full backups: Back up the entire virtual machine. This is the most comprehensive backup.
-
Incremental backups: Back up virtual machine data that has changed since the most recent backup.
-
Synthetic Full backups: Consolidate virtual machine data from the most recent full backup with subsequent incremental backups.
For more information on backup types, see Backup Options.
