Abstract
A computer-implemented method for performing incremental database backups may include (1) identifying a request to perform a block-level incremental backup of a database, the block-level incremental backup including data that has changed within the database since a previous block-level incremental backup of the database, (2) requesting, in response to the request, a differential backup stream from a database server of the database, (3) creating an incremental backup stream from the differential backup stream at least in part by removing at least one database block from the differential backup stream that has not changed since the previous block-level incremental backup and (4) forwarding the incremental backup stream to a backup location to create the block-level incremental backup. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
