Only if you had a transaction log that spanned the time between backups would this even remotely be possible. I would NEVER consider doing an incremental back up on a database. The data is only consistent at a given point in time and there would be an enormous risk of inconsistencies appearing if the restore was done in an improper sequence (even if it were possible, which AFAIK it is not). > Kaushal > -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
