Application Backup

The Application Backup schedule enables user-controlled NetBackup operations from the client. These operations include those initiated from the client and those initiated by an automatic schedule on the master server. NetBackup uses the Application Backup schedule when the user starts a backup manually. Configure at least one Application Backup schedule for each database policy. The Default-Application-Backup schedule is configured automatically as an Application Backup schedule.

Automatic Full Backup

An Automatic Full Backup schedule specifies the dates and times for NetBackup to automatically start backups. NetBackup runs the scripts in the order that they appear in the file list. If there is more than one client in the policy, the scripts are run on each client.

Automatic Incremental Backup

An Automatic Incremental Backup is a backup of only those blocks that have changed since the last Automatic Full (baseline) Backup. This kind of backup takes less time and space than a full backup because the Automatic Incremental Backup contains only the changed data.

NetBackup for SAP supports this type of backup in MaxDB environments and in Oracle environments with RMAN.
