Step 1. Select the Backup Route

On the first wizard step, select the backup route.

The following routes are available:

Local or Cloud Backup. Back up your data directly to local or cloud storage.

This is the default way to back up your data, without introducing any intermediate storage between the backup source and destination.

Hybrid Backup. Back up your data to local storage first, then upload the backup to the cloud.

Note that creating multiple plans to back up the same databases may lead to an LSN (Log Sequence Number) inconsistency, which triggers a full backup instead of a differential one.

It is not possible to switch your existing backup plans to a hybrid mode. Create a hybrid backup plan from scratch in this case.
