Incremental back-up and Full back-up

LG Network Storage supports two types namely, incremental back-up and full backup for the back-up of mobile storage device. For the location in which mobile storage device is backed up, there are user assigned folder and last backup folder.

- Incremental : All of the data of the assigned mobile storage device are backed up in the Last Backup folder. In the folder user assigned, only added contents are backed up when compared to the last backup folder previously backed up.

- Full : It performs back-up for the whole original ﬁle. Unlike incremental back-up, full back-up contains the whole back-up contents in the folder user assigned..(It does not save separately in the Last Backup folder)

This is an example about Incremental back-up and Full back-up. On ﬁrst backup(January 1st 2009), USB contains ﬁles as in the following.

ex 1)

in this case, when USB back-up proceeds with Incremental type, folder of the pertinent date of back-up is created and above ﬁles are saved. At the same time, last backup folder is created and all of the ﬁles currently present in USB are backed up. At this time, system folder is created as follows.

On second back-up, (January 2nd 2009), a.txt and b.txt are deleted, d.txt and e.txt are added. At this time, USB contains ﬁles as follows.

ex 2)

A folder with the date of back-up is created and only added or changed ﬁles are saved there on second back-up as well. As in above case, only added d.txt and e.txt are saved. And last backup is ﬁlled with ﬁles that are currently present in USB.
