Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for performing a backup of electronic data. An example method includes storing a first incremental data backup portion of a dataset in an electronic memory where the first incremental data backup includes both modified and unmodified portions of the dataset. Once stored, the method includes determining whether the first incremental data backup is a complete backup of the dataset. If the first incremental data backup is not a complete backup of the dataset, the method stores one or more additional incremental data backups of the dataset in the electronic memory that include additional modified and unmodified portions of the dataset until a full backup of the dataset is created.
