Abstract

A rule specifies a data change percent and a backup level to use corresponding to the data change percent. The backup level may be a full backup or a non-full backup. Before backing up a source for an impending backup, a percent of data change of the source from a last backup of the source to the impending backup is calculated. The rule is evaluated against the calculated percent change to select a backup level for the impending backup. Based on the evaluation, the full backup level or non-full backup level is selected and the source is backed up according to the selected backup level.
