The thing about full website backups is, they can get pretty big for instance, translates to several gigabytes if I create a full backup. Rather than backing up everything you specified in your schedule, an incremental backup only includes assets that are recently changed. This will save you a ton of space and money (if you're paying for a cloud storage solution). To set up an incremental backup schedule, go to the "Incremental Backup" tab on the "Backup Schedule" page.
Click "Edit" to start creating an incremental backup schedule. Take note that, with an incremental backup, you can also configure regular, full-site backups. These backups will be used as a baseline when determining the files that are changed when running an incremental backup.
My strategy is to create weekly full backups and then set incremental backups to once a day. This ensures that I never lose any of the work I put in my blog. As for your database backup cycle, you can make this the same as your full backup schedule.
To activate your incremental backup schedule, switch on the toggle for "Enable Incremental Backup Schedule." You can also select the option to create a full backup as soon as your incremental backup schedule is enabled.
.Note: Just remember that enabling incremental backups will disable your general backup schedules. That's because SellCloud's incremental backup feature already creates full backups. If both incremental and general backups can be scheduled simultaneously, you could potentially increase your backups' storage usage by two-fold. I personally love the incremental backup feature since you can create frequent backups without using loads of storage space. That's because it will only include files that were changed since the last full backup. Of course, remember that you can always create a backup whenever you want to.
