Combining Backup Approaches

Do full backups with a system utility.

Use the server utilities to do incremental backups of tables that have minimal change. The server utilities will back up only rows that have changed.

For tables that get heavy or frequent updates, do incremental backups with a system utility. The incremental system updates will back up files that have changed. Because SPD Server uses multiple data partition files for table data, only the data partition files that have changed will need incremental backup from a system utility.
