What types of backups can you choose?
SQL Safe Backup supports the standard SQL Server database backup types:
...
If you are backing up the database for the first time, select Full. A full backup will provide a comprehensive data set and SQL Safe Backup requires it to perform differential backups or transaction log backups later on. For more information about backup types, go to Understand understand backup types.
What to choose in the Format drop-down option?
By default, the SQL Safe Backup format is displayed in this option. Backups created using the SQL Safe file format can only be restored by SQL Safe. The SQL Server format is the native SQL Server backup file format. Backups created using the SQL Server format can be restored using SQL Safe and native SQL Server tools.
...
You can choose the option to Verify Backup. When this option is selected, SQL Safe Backup performs a data integrity check after the backup has been created. SQL Safe Backup only verifies the integrity of the data files in the backup set created by this backup.
Verifying the backup helps identify potential issues that could occur when restoring data files.
After choosing Once you choose your backup type, go click NEXT to Selecting select the location of your backup files.
