Backup set type
Database backup
Backs up the databases (EDB), transaction logs (LOG), checkpoint files (CHK), and then truncates the transaction logs for a specific database.
Exchange database will always backup in Full, AhsayOBM will request from the Exchange server to provide a full snapshot of the database. Deduplication will be used when generating delta to minimize the data uploaded in each backup. If deduplication is off, the full database will be backed up in each backup job.
Log File backup
Backs up the transaction logs (LOG) to record changes since the last full backup, and then truncates the transaction logs.
Transaction logs will always backup in Full. Deduplication will be used when generating delta to minimize the data uploaded in each transaction log backup. If deduplication is off, the full transaction log will be backed up in each backup job.

- The Migrate Data option will only be available if Deduplication is enabled for the backup set.
- Once done with the settings, click the Backup button to start the backup job. Once finished, "Backup Completed Successfully" will be displayed.
