FULL | INCREMENTAL | INCREMENTAL SINCE FULL specifies the type of backup. Choose one:
FULL causes a full backup of both the Catalog Store and the IQ Store. FULL is the default action.
For a Virtual Backup, you can use the VIRTUAL DECOUPLED | VIRTUAL ENCAPSUATED options of the BACKUP statement. For instructions, see “Virtual Backups”.
INCREMENTAL makes a full backup of the Catalog Store, and then backs up all changes to the IQ Store since the last IQ backup of any type.
Incremental virtual backup is supported using the VIRTUAL DECOUPLED and VIRTUAL ENCAPSULATED options of the BACKUP statement.
INCREMENTAL SINCE FULL makes a full backup of the Catalog Store, and then backs up all changes to the IQ store since the last full IQ backup.
For guidance in selecting a backup type, see “Scheduling routine backups”.
