Creating incremental backups at different sites in a multi-site environment may prevent data from being restored. As a best practice, perform all backup and restore operations at a single site in a multi-site environment.
The options available on the second screen of the Backup and Restore Wizard depend on whether Backup or Restore was selected on the first screen.
Tip: The text file ADMSConsoleLog-yyyymmdd.txt summarizes server events that impact backup and restore operations. The log file indicates whether or not the server is eligible for either backing up or restoring as well as the user and event that cause the change in eligibility.
Incremental Backup backs up only new or modified files in the file store as well as any changes to user accounts. Files and libraries that have not changed are not included in an incremental backup. Because standard libraries do not change, they are also not included in a incremental backup.
Incremental backups can only be restored in chronological order. An older incremental backup cannot be restored once a newer incremental backup has been restored. Specify the location to store the backed up data. To browse for a location, click ... and then locate a directory using the file browser. An incremental backup folder is named using the same naming convention as full backups, with the addition of _INCxx, where xx indicates the increment number. The destination folder for an incremental backup does not need to be the same as the folder containing the full backup. See Back Up or Restore a Vault for more details.
