Is it possible to make an incremental or differential backup with MySQL?
The backup of MySQL is carried out with the SQL Dump file and generates an only file that is loaded later. These backup files are generally very large in size and the server takes quite a while to make them. At present it is not possible to make a dump increment with mysqldump. However, our In-File Delta will ensure that, instead of the whole backup file, only the changes made to the blocks of information in the dump file are downloaded to the backup server.
