Abstract
Techniques for performing an incremental backup are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for performing an incremental backup comprising retrieving a first identifier from a first portion of a prior backup of a database, backing up a first portion of a snapshot of the database, retrieving, using at least one computer processor, a second portion of the snapshot of the database, determining whether a second identifier of the second portion of the snapshot of the database is greater than the first identifier, and in the event the second identifier is greater than the first identifier, backing up the second portion of the snapshot of the database.
