Backup type:

0 -- Full (default). A full backup is a starting point for all other backup types. You may define the files and folders to be backed up using the include/exclude options (see below).

1 -- Incremental. Only the files that have changed since the latest full, incremental, or differential backup are included. When restoring from an incremental backup, you'll need the latest full backup as well as every incremental and/or differential backup that you've made since the last full backup.
