Incremental (only files changed since last full backup)
I am doing backups to ssh
What about restoring backups?
If I restore the first backup, incremental ones mean incremental restores?
Or the backup file is incremented and I have to wait to the very final step to restore only one backup?
Thanks

Incremental backups contain files changed since the last full backup, just as the description says. So, to restore with incrementals you need the full backup and the most recent incremental.

Oh, and you restore the full backup first, and then the incremental over top of it.
