Fast recovery (Circular Logging)
Click on this radio button to record the changes to your database in a set of logs. When the last log file in a series is filled, the first log file is reused in a circular fashion. Circular logging supports restore--only recovery. (LOG RETAIN = OFF)
Complete recovery (Archive Logging)
Click on this radio button to continuously create additional logs to record every transaction since your last backup. Archive logging does not overwrite older log files. This type of logging supports roll-forward recovery. (LOG RETAIN = ON)

Use the slider to show the amount of data in the database that changes each day.
Recommended backup frequency
This field shows the time between backups. Scheduling a backup is a trade off between the time it takes to backup the database and the amount of data you can recover (circular logging) or the backup time and the time required to recover all the data (archive logging) after a failure.

Type of backup
Select the type of backup:
You can do a backup while the database is either online or offline. If it is online, other applications or processes can continue to connect to the database as well as read and modify data while the backup task is running. If the backup is performed offline, only the backup task can be connected to the database. The implication of offline backup is that the rest of your organization cannot connect to the database while the backup task is running. However, online backups are supported only if roll-forward recovery is enabled.
