Policy-specific options
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Incremental backup | The policy only backs up data sets that have changed since the last backup. The policy determines whether a data set has been changed by examining the change bit. Incremental backup is the default. |
Follow symbolic links | Select this checkbox to backup directories and files referenced by symbolic links. Symbolic links are commonly used to redirect access from one directory to another. By default, the checkbox is not checked to avoid backing up additional directories that the user might not intend to backup. |
