   • Run for all VMs: The job will run for all VMs.

   • Run for selected VMs: The job will run for the VMs.

   • Run for failed VMs: The job will run for previously failed VMs.

2. If the type of the Backup Repository for your job is Incremental with full backups, you will have to choose between the following backup types:

   • Incremental: Your job will create an incremental backup.

   • Full: Your job will create a full backup. If you choose this option, please choose the full backup mode:

     • Synthetic full: The application will first perform an incremental backup – that is, will transfer only the VM data that changed since the last backup, – and will then transform the available data into a full backup.

     • Active full: Will read all source VM data and transfer it to the backup repository.
