Recovery point type options
The following table describes the recovery point type options that you can select while scheduling a backup.
See Scheduling a backup.
Table: Recovery point type options
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Recovery point set (recommended) | Creates a recovery point set of the specified volumes. This backup type requires less storage and is faster than independent recovery point because it contains only the incremental changes that were made to your computer since the previous recovery point Note: You can have only one recovery point set defined for each volume at any point of time. |
Independent recovery point | Creates a complete, independent backup of the specified volumes. This backup type typically requires more storage space than the recovery point set, especially if you run the backup multiple times. |
