Schedules and backup levels assigned to an action

You specify the schedule and backup level as part of the backup action by selecting either Define or Select options under Select Schedule. The following figure illustrates the default define weekly schedule for a traditional backup action, with a full backup on Sunday and incremental backups on the remaining days of the week.

You can also configure the schedule for a backup action on a monthly basis instead of on a weekly basis.

Click the icon in the schedule to change the backup level that is performed on that day. The following table provides details about the backup level that each icon represents.

Table 1. Scheduled backup level icons

Icon	Label	Description
	Full	Perform a full backup on this day. Full backups include all files, regardless of whether the files changed.
	Incr	Perform an incremental backup on this day. Incremental backups include files that have changed since the last backup of any type (full or incremental).
	Cumulative Incr	Perform a cumulative incremental backup. Cumulative incremental backups include files that have changed since the last full backup.
	Logs Only	Perform a backup of only database transaction logs.
	Synthetic Full	Perform a synthetic full backup on this day. A synthetic full backup includes all data that changed since the last full backup and subsequent incremental backups to create a synthetic full backup.
	Skip	Do not perform a backup on this day.

The following figure illustrates the Predefined NSR schedule that can be associated with the action. If a level needs to be changed, it can be done by updating the NSR schedule resource:
