Table 70   Protect  > Backup > Add Job: Step 1 

Job Name

This is a required field that uniquely identifies the backup. Type from 1 to 
15 characters. You can use alphanumeric characters (A-Z 0-9) and "_" 
[underscores]. The first character must be a letter.

Job Description

Type from 0 to 60 characters to further describe this backup.

Archive

Select this to make a separate copy of the source files for each backup. 
The backup copy can be on this NSA, another NSA, or a computer that 
uses CIFS.
Full copies all of the source files at each backup. This provides the most 
protection but also requires the most storage space.
Incremental copies only source files that are new and/or modified since 
the last backup. The first backup is a full backup. The NSA also does a full 
backup at the backup interval you specify. You can manually delete 
backup files, but you must keep the latest full backup to be able to restore 
the files later.

Synchronization

Select this to keep updating a single copy of the source files to the target. 
At the time of writing the target must be another NSA-2401. 
Publish makes a copy of the source files. Additional files in the target 
folder can remain.
Mirror makes the target folder identical to the source folder. The NSA 
deletes any other files in the target folder.
