Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for performing a backup of electronic data. An example method includes storing a first incremental data backup of a dataset that is less than a complete backup of the dataset and includes unmodified and modified portions of the dataset. Then, a second incremental data backup of the dataset is stored that includes a second unmodified portion of the dataset different than the first unmodified portion. The method then determines whether the first and second incremental data backups together form the complete backup of the dataset. If they do not, the method further stores a subsequent incremental data backup of the dataset in the electronic memory that includes an additional unmodified portion of the dataset and/or an additional modified portion of the dataset.
