For more information on these backup methods and other administrator-directed activities, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
With automatic backups, the NetBackup administrator can schedule the full backups and the incremental backups that occur automatically and unattended. (Incremental backups can be differential incremental backups or cumulative incremental backups.) Automatic backups meet most backup requirements.
You cannot perform an automatic copy backup. To perform a copy backup, run a user-directed backup.
With manual backups, the administrator can perform immediate backups of the files that are associated with any policy, client, or schedule.
With the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface, the user can perform backups of Exchange Server, mailboxes, and public folders. A user-directed backup produces a copy backup for Exchange, which is a full backup that does not truncate the transaction logs.
