Select this to back up only the changes made to the database since the last full backup. The differential backup method cannot be used to back up Index databases or Document Libraries. The Full backup method must be used to back up these resources.
   Use Backup Exec Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) to enable the restore of individual documents from the database backup (available for full backups only)	Select this option to enable the restore of individual documents from database backups. This option is only available when performing full backups. The option not available if Differential - Back up database changes only has been selected as the backup method. You must have a current version of the Remote Agent for Windows Systems on the SharePoint server when you run the GRT-enabled backup job. See How to restore individual items by using Granular Recovery Technology.

   Reconnect previous database links	When restoring portal sites or Windows SharePoint Services sites, this option re-establishes the link between the restored databases and their corresponding sites.
   Preserve existing Internet Services (IIS) Web site and application pool (SharePoint 2007 only).	If the Web site and application pool for the SharePoint Web application that you restore already exists in IIS, this option preserves them during restore. If you do not check this option, the Web site and application pool are deleted from IIS during the restore. After they are deleted, they are recreated in the default location that SharePoint specifies.
   If versioning is enabled on the restore destination	If versioning is enabled on the device to which you want to restore an individual item, select one of the following options: Add as a new version Backup Exec restores the existing item as a new version, which makes it the most recent version of the existing item.
