Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Incrbydate

Important:
If you have limited time during the week to perform backups, but extra time on weekends, you can maintain current server storage of your NetWare server files by performing an incremental backup with the incrbydate option on weekdays and a full incremental backup on weekends.

Use the incrbydate option with the incremental command to back up new and changed files with a modification date later than the last incremental backup stored at the server, unless the file is excluded from backup. Files added at the client after the last incremental backup, but with a modification date earlier than the last incremental, are not backed up.

An incremental-by-date updates the date and time of the last incremental at the server. If an incremental-by-date is performed on only part of a file system, the date of the last full incremental is not updated and the next incremental-by-date will back up these files again.

Both full incrementals and incrementals-by-date back up new and changed files. An incremental-by-date takes less time to process than a full incremental and requires less memory. However, unlike a full incremental, an incremental-by-date does not maintain current server storage of all your NetWare server files because:

Note:
The Tivoli Storage Manager Client API does not support this option.
