* (schedule_0045.gif) * Schedules define the type of backup and timing of backup jobs. Schedules are defined for two types of backups—automatic-scheduled and client-requested. Automatic schedule types include Full, Cumulative Incremental, and Differential Incremental. Client-requested schedules specify when users can start user backups and archives from the clients. This can be further broken into user backup schedule types or user archive schedule types. For schedule methods, there are two: frequency-based and calendar-based. When b-p-sched starts, it searches for schedules, either calendar-based or frequency-based, that have open windows. The b-p-sched utility builds a work list accordingly, consisting of backup jobs that are due to run. Frequency-based schedules typically run every day, every hour, every 4 hours, etc. Calendar-based schedules run specifically on certain days of the week or days of the month. Frequency-based or calendar-based schedules require the backup window to be open for the job to start; however, the backup jobs do not have to complete within the window, they simply have to start within the window. * There are three types of automatic backups full backups, differential incremental backups, and cumulative incremental backups. A full backup backs up all files. A differential backup backs up all files that have been modified since the last full or incremental backup. A cumulative backup backs up the files that have been modified since the last full backup. Here’s an example of a differential backup. On Sunday, a full backup is performed. On Monday, the differential backup backs up the files that have changed since Sunday. On Tuesday, the differential backup backs up the files that have changed since Monday. On Wednesday, the differential backup backs up the files that have changed since Tuesday, and so on. The benefit of a differential backup is that the files back up quickly because they are small. The drawback to a
