spdsbkup
performs an incremental backup or full backup of SPD Server tables
  • If a table does not have a pre-existing full backup, spdsbkup performs a full backup of the table and sets the last full backup date.
  • If the table does have a pre-existing full backup, spdsbkup performs an incremental backup. The incremental backup uses the latest full or incremental backup date as the beginning point for the incremental content change for the table.
spdsbkup -inc
performs only incremental backups of SPD Server tables.
  • If a full backup (required for an incremental) is unavailable, spdsbkup -inc prints a warning message and the table is not backed up.
  • If a full backup is available, spdsbkup -inc performs an incremental backup of the table using the later of the two dates: the date of the last full backup or of the last SPD Server incremental backup for the table.
  • Attribute changes to the table are not backed up in an incremental backup. Only the incremental changes for the rows since the last backup are backed up.
    Note: When an incremental backup is restored, only the incremental changes to the rows are applied. Any indexes defined for the table are updated accordingly.
spdsbkup -full
performs only full backups of SPD Server tables. All of the table observations and attributes (indexes, definitions, partition size, compression, and sorted) are backed up. After each full table backup, spdsbkup -inc resets the last full backup date for the table. See the -n option for dependencies.
Note: When a full backup is restored, the table is created with those attributes and then all of the rows are added.
