Recovery point type options
DescriptionOption
Schedules a base recovery point with
additional recovery points that contain only
incremental changes that were made to your
computer since the previous recovery point.
Incremental recovery points are created
faster than the base recovery point. They
also use less storage space than an
independent recovery point.
Note: You can only have one recovery point
set defined for each drive. The Recovery
point set option is not available if you have
already assigned a selected drive to an
existing backup and specified Recovery
point set as the recovery point type. This
option also is unavailable if you select an
unmounted drive that cannot be part of a
recovery point set.
Recovery point set (recommended)
Creates a complete, independent copy of the
drives that you select. This backup type
typically requires more storage space,
especially if you run the backup multiple
times.
Independent recovery point

Defining a drive-based backup on page 74.
