Highlights of Manual and Scheduled backups:

• Manual backup is one-time, full backup which can be activated manually by a user at the moment of the button click. An initial full backup is required before any scheduled backup can be done.
  
• Scheduled backup automatically start the file backup process at the user pre-defined time. It is an incremental type of backup which copies only the modified files in the source folder to the backup destination.
