We will use the ThinBackup plugin to schedule a backup of our Hudson configuration. From the Hudson home page, click on the Manage Hudson link. On the Manage Hudson page, you will notice there is a new ThinBackup link towards the end of the page; click on it. The ThinBackup page is shown in the following screenshot:
The ThinBackup page contains three options: Backup Now, Restore, and Settings. Click on the Settings link.
The ThinBackup plugin has two types of backups: full backups and differential backups. A full backup will back up everything that has been described in the thinBackup Configuration page. A differential backup will back up only files whose modification is done after the last full backup was performed.
A backup set is a full backup and the differential backups that reference it.
