Backup Type

  • AUTO — In the HPE storage systems, incremental backup is attempted first. If the operation fails, optimized backup (only those blocks with data are copied) is attempted. If even the optimized backup operation fails, a full backup is performed. Optimized backups are faster than full backups. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends you to select this backup type.

  • FULL — Performs a full backup. Perform if auto backup fails.
