| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Recovery point set (recommended) | Creates a recovery point set of the specified volumes. This backup type requires less storage and is faster that 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. |
