See Scheduling a backup.
Table: Recovery point type options
| Option | Description |
| Recovery point set (recommended) | Creates a recovery point set of the specified volumes. This backup type requires less storage and is faster than independent recovery point because it contains only the |
| | incremental changes that were made to your |
| | computer since the previous recovery point |
| | Note: You can have only one recovery point set defined for each volume at any point of time. |
| Independent recovery point | Creates a complete, independent backup of the specified volumes. This backup type |
| | typically requires more storage space than the recovery point set, |
| | especially if you run the backup multiple |
| | times. |
