Chapter 5: Selecting Files and Versions 57
The shaded check box indicates that if any new files that pass the filter criteria are created in that folder,
they will be selected for the job.
Selecting changed files only
When you run a job repeatedly, particularly backup jobs designed for disaster protection, many times you
only want to back up files that have changed since the last time you ran a backup job. Data Protector
Express handles this with the backup mode setting.
If you want to back up all selected files, use the
Full
backup mode setting; Data Protector Express does
not deselect any selected files.
If you only want to back up files that have changed since the last
full
backup, use the Differential backup
mode setting; Data Protector Express automatically deselects all the files that have not changed since the
last
full
backup.
If you only want to back up files that have changed since the last backup, use the Incremental backup
mode setting; Data Protector Express automatically deselects all the files that have not changed since the
last backup.
The job then runs with this updated selected file list.
Automatically selecting new files for backup
When you set up a job to run repeatedly, you want that job to adjust to changes made to any of the
directories on your computer or any machine in your Data Protector Express management domain.
Sometimes these changes include the addition of new files and directories that were not originally
selected when the job was created. It may even include the addition of new machines on the network or
any volumes on these machines that were not previously selected for backup.
