incremental backup

[ananda]

Hi All,
I took complete RAW backup and now if i need to take incremental backup, what should i do.


Should i

1. backup_level=1
2. backup_mode=raw

and then take backup or should i do the below.

1. backup_level=1
2. backup_mode=logical

Please let me know how should i take incremental backup after a RAW backup.
I need to do this so that i can restore changes happened after taking RAW backup.

regards

Please use
--backup-level 1 for incremental.
and
--backup-level 0 for full backup.

You can pass this option to the scheduler on the command line while scheduling the backups.

The backup-mode is used only during full backups so you do not need to change the mode for incrementals.
