1、A full backup image.
2、Backup Type - Only full backup is enabled.
3、Elapsed time since the last full backup.
4、Note that you can restore either a full backup manually, apply the Saturday incremental backup image and roll forward.
5、Figure 3 shows how recovery requires a full backup image, the last incremental backup, all delta backups since the last incremental backup, and the logs.
6、The current Stack Overflow full backup is about 7 GB compressed, and the other databases are perhaps 2 GB compressed.
7、Hard links are very cheap to create and maintain, so a full backup is simulated using only an incremental scheme.
8、If transaction logging is used for backups, use this switch only before the full backup schedule (once a week).
9、In the case of a failure for example on Saturday after the incremental backup is taken, you can just restore the first Sunday full backup and apply the incremental on Saturday.
10、NOTE: A full backup of your computer and the Emergency Recovery Diskettes will be required in the case of a hard disk emergency.
11、In six months of using SuperMemo, I had to restore from a full backup three times, each time losing six to eight hours of work.
