I have been thinking about backups. I currently do one a day. However, I thought it might be nice to get differential
backupsthrough the day. I should be able to generate dumps throughout the day, generate a diff from my baseline dump,
andjust keep the diff, right? Then to do a restore I would just patch for the point in time I wanted to restore to?
Seemslike it would work, but whether it would save any hard drive space would depend on how much activity the database
saw. Anyone doing this now?
