Performing Incremental Backups


	IMPORTANT: If the Database Instance Identification (DB-IID) of any selected database changes after the initial Full Backup, perform a Full Backup before running any Incremental Backups. Otherwise, the data might not be recoverable. If you create a mailbox after performing a Full Backup, it is not backed up as part of an Incremental Backup until a different Full Backup is performed that includes the new mailbox.

Start the Backup Job Wizard.

In Job Name, specify a name for the job.

In the Selections list, select the Backup Selections Set that was used to perform the Full Backup.

Available restore and recovery types

The Plug‑in for Domino supports the following types of restore and recovery:

•

Full and Incremental Restore: Full Restore involves restoring one or more databases from a Full Backup. Incremental Restore involves restoring the Full Backup and the individual Incremental Backups.

•

Roll-Forward and Point-In-Time Recovery: Roll-Forward Recovery involves applying the Transaction Logs for a complete recovery of the database to the most recent state. This type of recovery is useful if a Domino Server is lost. Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) involves applying the Transaction Logs to recover a database up to a specific point between the Full Backup and now. This type of recovery can be used to “roll back” invalid database updates or database corruption.

•

Soft and Hard Recovery: Soft Recovery involves applying the Current Logs on the Domino Server for a complete recovery of the database to the most recent state. It can be performed regardless of whether the Domino Server is offline or online. Hard Recovery involves only applying the Transaction Logs in the Incremental Backups. It can only be performed when the Domino Server is offline.
