The three types of backups
Introduction
There are three types of backups that can be performed:
• selective
• partial
•full
Description
The three backup options allow you to select the appropriate
type for your backup without always having to perform a full
backup.
Selective backup
Selective backups allow you to back up user messages, personal
distribution lists, and multimedia services. Selective backup
also enables you to back up mailboxes by specific criteria (such
as volume or department).
Partial backup
Partial backups save the administration configuration of the
system, including the system volume and user profiles. This
type of backup saves user data only, not voice.
Full backup
Full backups back up all volumes on your system, including
voice and data from system and user volumes.
