Types of backup
There are three types of backup:
❖ Full backup — All user files and selected system files are
automatically included in full backups.
❖ Incremental backup — Selects only those files that have
changed since the last backup. This can be useful when
full backups are taking too much space to perform
frequently.
❖ Partial Backup — With partial backups, you select a
specific set of file to backup.
Backups can be performed to three locations.
❖ Local client — If you have a client computer on the
network that has extra space on its hard disk drive, this
client can be used to store backups.
❖ Additional hard disk drive— The Magnia SG30 can have
a second drive configured for extra storage, as well as an
additional USB disk drive. Backups may be targeted to
either of these added storage locations
❖ Internet location — The Magnia SG30 offers the ability
to store backups off site at an Internet FTP location. To
use this option, you must have an FTP site available, such
as one provided by a commercial Internet based backup
service, or through a corporate FTP site. Because the
speed of Internet backups is limited by the speed of your
Internet connection, this option is appropriate for smaller
backups of selected, business critical files.
Performing a manual backup
Backups can be performed automatically or can be scheduled
to execute automatically.
To perform a manual backup:
1 From a client computer, click the Admin icon to start the
Administration Web site.
