Backup Type
Full Backup will backup the whole database whereas Differential will only backup the differences.

Backup Set
As you can see in the image above backup set is set to OVERWRITE. This will overwrite the current file whereas APPEND will add the backup to the backup file. APPEND cannot be used when compressing the backup.

Backup to File Name
This is the location of where the backup will be saved. In the image above we have built the name with {{FILEDATE}}
This will enter todays date in the file name so that you can reference it at a later stage.

Compress to ZIP Archive
