Abstract
Embodiments include methods, apparatus, or processors configured to access a tracking enabled storage volume associated with a container; perform a full backup of the storage volume, where performing the full backup includes defining a full backup point; perform a first incremental backup of the storage volume based on the full backup point, where performing the first incremental backup includes defining a current backup point; determine whether a backup termination condition has been met; upon determining that the backup termination condition has not been met: performing a subsequent incremental backup of the storage volume based on the current backup point; and updating the current backup point. Embodiments may restore the tracking enabled storage volume from the full backup and the incremental backups.
