The best way to ensure data backups in a consistent and timely manner is by running them on a schedule. The ultimate goal of configuring a backup schedule is to enable a hands-off approach to performing backups while ensuring recent backups are available in the event of a data loss or disaster. Most backup schedules are configured to run after hours to minimize interference. Vembu BDR offers 5 different backup schedule solutions.
Continuous Mode (Immediate Backup):
Continuous mode allows clients to begin the backup process whenever any modifications to files or folders occurs. Once the full backup is finished, additional incremental backups are taken continuously.
Run by the Minute (Minute / Hourly Backup):
Selected files and folder backup every few minutes or hours depending upon the scheduled frequency. For example, if a backup schedule at 10 am and is set to run every hour, Vembu BDR will the first backup at 10am (full backup time) and subsequent backups will be taken each hour. In the event of a restart, the backup can be pushed back until Vembu BDR is able to perform the backup. Incremental backups would be scheduled one hour from the time of the restart.
Run Daily (Daily Backup):
Clients are able to perform backups every 24 hours. Once the full backup finished, incremental backups will be taken once every 24 hours.
Run Weekly (Weekly Backup):
Clients can schedule backups weekly on any particular day and time.
Run Only Once (One Time Backup):
Allows the client to backup only a single time. For example, if a one time backup is configured, there will only be one full backup taken. No incremental backups will be performed in this schedule.
