Let us learn more about virtualizor incremental backup and how to setup up the backup with the support of our Virtualizor management support services at Bobcares.

What is Incremental Backups In Virtualizor?

Incremental backups are very tiny backups that contain only the changes that have occurred since the last incremental backup. A full backup is required before an incremental backup can be performed.

Following the creation of a full backup, the following backup procedure will generate tiny (depending on the changes made since the last backup) incremental backups that will be connected to the full backup.

A chain is a collection of incremental backups and their accompanying connected complete backups. Virtualizor will save these chains for each virtual machine in its own database. If the VM is shutdown, restarted, or restored, a new chain will be generated.

Consider the above scenario, where the source disk is the VPS disk. If we do an incremental backup on this drive, a new chain is produced, which begins with a complete backup.

If we do another incremental backup, it will now make a little backup, inc0. additional incremental backup files will be produced as we take additional incremental backups.

Inc backups will continue to add to the existing chain until the chain point is broken. A new chain will form if the chain point is broken due to VM shutdown or restart.

How To Take Backups In Virtualizor?

Follow the steps given below to setup the backup process:

• To enable incremental backups in Virtualizor, we must activate Backuply for the current Virtualizor license.
• After that, We will be able to use Backuply backups for incremental backups once we have a valid current Backuply license.
• Once Backuply is activated on the Virtualizor license, we will have the choice for Backup Plans.
• After that, Once we’ve setup the backup strategy, Virtualizor will begin collecting backups automatically based on the parameters.
• We will be able to see the incremental backups from the Admin panel.
• Finally,We will be able to see the Backups via the Enduser Panel.
