A backup procedure that backs up only those files that have been changed or modified since the previous backup.

An incremental backup only backs up the transaction logs and then clears them. Restoration of an Exchange Server database from an incremental backup requires a: Restore of the last full backup. Restore of any other incremental backups performed between the full backup and this incremental backup. Restore of this incremental backup.

Incremental backup allows users to copy only those files created or changed since the last full or incremental backup. It marks files as having been backed up. If you use a combination of full and incremental backups...

a backup of files that have changed (based on their modification time) since the last successful full backup

a backup of one or more datafiles that contain only those blocks that have been modified since a previous backup

a backup of only the data that has been changed since your last backup

a backup of only what has changed since the last backup

a backup that backs up only the files modified since the last backup

a backup that only backs up the files if they were modified or are new

a backup which copies only those files which have changed since the last backup (or the last full backup)

a copy of any files which have changed, or any new files added, since the last backup

a session that only contains copies of files that were changed after the last backup

a variation of the full backup

A time-saving backup method that only backs up files changed or newly created since the last full or incremental backup. Multiple incremental backups might be required when recovering lost data.

(1) The process of backing up files or directories that are new or have changed since the last incremental backup. See also selective backup. (2) The process of copying only the pages in the database that are new or changed since the last full or incremental backup of the database. Contrast with full backup. See also database backup series.

A Backup utility operation that saves only those files that have been created or modified since the most recent backup that was performed using the /RECORD qualifier. (The /RECORD qualifier records the date and time that the files are backed up.)

Is a backup type that retrieves new or modified files from a client machine since the last backup

A backup method which only saves the files within a system that have changed since the last backup. Incremental backups require much less storage space, but take longer to restore after a crash or disaster. Many businesses conduct full backups each week, while conducting the quicker incremental backups each day.

A backup of the transaction log only, typically used between full backups. See also: transaction log.

An RMAN backup in which only modified blocks are backed up. Incremental backups are classified by level. An incremental level 0 backup performs the same function as a full backup in that they both back up all blocks that have ever been used. The difference is that a full backup will not affect blocks backed up by subsequent incremental backups, whereas an incremental backup will affect blocks backed up by subsequent incremental backups. Incremental backups at level 1 back up only blocks that have changed since previous incremental backups. Blocks that have not changed are not backed up. An incremental backup can be either a differential incremental backup or a cumulative incremental backup. A cumulative incremental backup backs up all blocks changed since the last level 1 incremental backup. A differential incremental backup backs up all blocks changed since the last level 0 or level 1 incremental backup.

The process of copying files that have been opened for reasons other than read-only access since the last backup was created and that meet the backup frequency criteria. Contrast with full backup.

A method of archiving data. Basically, during an incremental backup all data that has changed since the last full (or previous incremental) backup will...

A backup where only the files that have changed since the last backup are copied.

storage: A type of backup where only those things which have been added or changed since the last backup are copied.

Type of backup run when only files in the worklist that have modified or added since the last backup (which may have been full or incremental) are backed up; a partial backup.

Backing up all files that were changed since the last backup.

A backup that copies only those files created or changed since the last normal or incremental backup. It marks files as having been backed up (in other words, the archive attribute is cleared). If you use a combination of normal and incremental backups to restore your data, you will need to have the last normal backup and all incremental backup sets.

Only the files that have changed since the last full or incremental backup are backed up. Subsequent incremental backups only back up those files that have changed since the previous incremental backup. On average, incremental backups take less time because there are fewer files backed up. However, it takes longer to restore data since data from the last full backup, plus data from all the incremental backups, must be restored.

Backing up only those files that have been changed since the last backup was performed.

A function that permits user to back up new or changed files or directories from a client domain or from specified file systems, directories, or files. These file systems, directories, or files are not excluded in the include-exclude list and meet the requirements for frequency, mode, and serialization as defined by a backup copy group of the management class assigned to each file. Contrast with selective backup.

Backup that copies only the files that have changed since the last full or incremental backup. 12.20

A backup of a hard disk that consists of only those files created or modified since the last backup was performed. ... more

An incremental backup is a backup method where multiple backups are kept (not just the last one). These backups will be incremental if each original piece of backed up information is stored only once, and then successive backups only contain the information that changed since the previous one.
