This example describes how incremental restores work when using full, cumulative, and delta IR-enabled backups in a five day backup strategy.

Save Set Type Description
1 full Contains data from all tables
2 delta Contains changed data blocks since last backup
3 full Contains data from all tables
4 delta Contains changed data blocks since last backup
5 cumulative Contains all changes since previous full backup

If you create an IR-enabled restore job in the BAR Operations portlet and select Latest version (Full), the selected backup save sets will be 5 and 3.

If you create an IR-enabled restore job using Specify a version (Full) in the BAR Operations portlet or <backup_version> in the job xml file, you get the following results:
  • If you select Save Set 1, you get save set 1.
  • If you select Save Set 2, you get save sets 1 and 2.
  • If you select Save Set 5, you get save sets 5 and 3.
Next incremental restore normally applies only one save set at a time. To restore multiple save sets, you will need to run the job multiple times. If you create an IR-enabled restore job using Next incremental restore in the BAR Operations portlet or with <next_incremental_restore>=true, you get the following results:
  • A newly created restore job points to the last created full backup (previous Sve Set 3 ).
  • If a previous restore has occurred: if the last applied (restored) save set is 1, only save set 2 is used.
  • If any of the conditions that force a full restore have occurred (see Changes That Force Full Restore of IR-Enabled Restore Job) and Save Set 1 was the last restored, then both save set 1 and 2 are selected.

Difference Between CBB Restore and IR-Enabled Restore
