Despite the best efforts of IT organisations, unplanned events such as unsuccessful code upgrades can still cause unscheduled downtime.

Backups are run on a specific schedule, with three distinct scheduling options available:

Monthly Backup: One full file system (directory structure) per month
Weekly Backup: One full file system (directory structure) per week
Daily Backup: One full file system (directory structure) per week with additional daily incremental backup
