Incremental Database Backups/Snapshots

["Peter Caton" <peterc at nils dot lib dot il dot us>]

One of the newest features in database backup is the ability to
incrementally backup a database throughout the day.  The reason for
incremental daily backups or incremental "snapshots" is to help retrieve
information in the case of failure.  Obviously if an Innovative server
were to go down at, staff would have to rely on backup information from
the night before.  Exactly how to rebuild the information lost in
between this time becomes quite problematic.  This is why creating
daily, incremental snapshots in between the nightly backups is so
beneficial; it provides more fault tolerance.

 

Does such a solution exist for creating snapshots of the Innovative
database?

 

Thanks.
