Incremental backups are useful when you want to recover database transactions that have been lost due to an operating system or disk failure. You can apply these logs to an online backup in order to recover a database.
IntelliSnap backup cannot be performed on the logs. Incremental backup runs as a traditional backup.
File system backups include both data and logs. However, you can run a log only backup. Prior to running log only backups ensure that the PostgreSQL database is in ARCHIVE mode.
