Backup Job Description

This is the more detailed description of the Backup job and should contain enough detail to remind you what the job does if you forget what the display name means. For example, ‘Backup of the ‘My Documents’ folder to the ‘backup’ folder on the external hard drive that happens at 2 AM every night’.

This is the type of backup operation that will occur and can be one of three options; ‘Full’ – takes a copy of all the files in the location you specify, ‘Differential’ – takes a copy of all the files that have changed since the last ‘Full’ backup ‘Incremental’ – takes a copy of the files that have changed since the last backup of any type.
