Background information
If the status of the anti-ransomware policy is Successful, the anti-ransomware policy takes effect. In this case, the data in your database
is backed up based on the anti-ransomware policy. If the status of the anti-ransomware
policy is Execution failed, we recommend you handle the exception at the earliest opportunity. For more information,
see Troubleshoot the issues causing the abnormal status of an anti-ransomware policy for
a database.

Full backup strategy |
The interval at which full backup is performed, the days of a week on which full backup
is performed, and the point in time at which the full backup starts.

capacity.

Incremental backup strategy |
The interval at which incremental backup is performed and the point in time at which
the incremental backup starts.

or modified after the last full or incremental backup. Therefore, incremental backup
is time-saving and requires less anti-ransomware capacity.
