Full backup
A self-sufficient backup (p. 387) containing all data chosen for backup. You do not need access to any
other backup to recover the data from a full backup.
G
GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son)
A popular backup scheme (p. 389) aimed to maintain the optimal balance between a backup archive
(p. 387) size and the number of recovery points (p. 397) available from the archive. GFS enables
recovering with daily resolution for the last several days, weekly resolution for the last several weeks
and monthly resolution for any time in the past.
For more information please refer to GFS backup scheme (p. 32).
I

The same as Disk backup (p. 392).

backups from the same archive (p. 387) to restore data from an incremental backup.

such as a recovery task. A local task belonging to a backup plan can be modified by editing the plan
only; other local tasks can be modified directly.
