Abstract

An incremental backup of a database includes issuing a request to a copy service requesting a snapshot of a volume having the database, and identifying a writer of the database that should participate in creating the snapshot. From the snapshot, changes to the database since a last backup of the database and log files associated with the database that include data not yet committed to the database, are transmitted to a backup storage unit.
