After you purchase and configure a backup schedule, you can modify its settings at any time from the Configure Task page. Data Disaster Recovery (DBS) supports full backup, incremental backup, and data restoration.
From the Configure Task page, you can update:
Backup source — database location and connection address
Backup objects — which database objects to back up
Backup time — when backups run
Incremental log backup — enable or disable real-time data protection
Backup lifecycle — how long backups are retained
Pause the schedule — temporarily stop backups

Enable or disable incremental log backup
Incremental log backup works alongside full backup to provide real-time data protection. Without it, only full backup runs and real-time protection is unavailable.
Disabling incremental log backup removes real-time data protection. To restore it, you must re-enable both incremental log backup and full backup at the same time.
