Incremental Backup

Incremental backup is a type of backup that saves only the data that has changed since the most recent backup. By avoiding the need to copy the entire dataset, incremental backup significantly improves the efficiency of the backup process and saves data storage compared to full backup. Additionally, compared to other vendors' incremental backup solutions, Vinchin's unique automatic restore point technology further enhances data recovery efficiency.

FREE TRIAL DEMO
check Captures only the changes made since the last backup of any kind (whether full or incremental)
check After the initial full backup, each incremental backup includes only the data that has changed since the last backup (either full or incremental)
check Typically smaller than differential backups, as each incremental backup contains only the changes made since the last backup
check Faster backups as each incremental backup is smaller and quicker to create
check Captures all changes made since the last full backup
check After the initial full backup, each differential backup includes all the data that has changed since the last full backup, regardless of whether those changes were included in previous differential backups
check Each differential backup grows larger over time as more changes accumulate since the last full backup
check Initially fast, but as more data changes over time, differential backups take longer to complete

Key Benefits of Vinchin Incremental Backup

Auto Restore Point Merging

When restoring data with an ordinary backup solution, the process typically involves merging the incremental restore point with previous restore points. However, with Vinchin, the incremental restore point has been automatically merged with the necessary restore points, allowing you to restore data directly from the incremental backup as easily as from a full backup.

Changed Block Tracking

Changed Block Tracking

For VM backup, Vinchin supports Change Block Tracking (CBT), which quickly captures data changes since the last backup, significantly speeding up incremental backups. For virtualization platforms where CBT is not supported, Vinchin has self-developed SpeedKit technology to achieve similar acceleration of incremental backups.

Forever Incremental Backup

The ordinary incremental backup solution usually requires multiple full backup points to be used together. However, Vinchin supports forever incremental backup to create only one full backup and then only create incremental backups afterward. This is particularly useful in scenarios with large amounts of data where network bandwidth and storage space are limited.
