Incremental backup

[dkblee]

hi!

I got a full backup and incremental backup on a databasae and folders.
How do i make sure that the incremental backup is restored correctly to the database and folders?
If i got 5 incremetnal backup since my last full backup, do i need to restore the incremental backup one by one until the latest backup? or i just need to restore the full backup follow by the last incremental backup? Any particular setting need to be done in the restore for incremetal backup?

Thks!

You need to restore each incremental in order. Differential backups require the Latest Full and latest Diff only.

(Any files originally deleted after the full backup will still be there after the process completes)

hi! any particular setting needs to be done for the incremental backup's restore?

There're some settings about juction points in the restore setting, any changes need to be done there or i just use the default setting will do?

It's been a while since I looked a a v8 restore job setup, but IIRC the defaults should be fine.
