Creating incremental backups
From InterBase
Go Up to Performing backups and restores using the gbak command
An incremental backup copies all of the changes to the database that have occurred since the last full or incremental backup. The first time you use the gbak -d switch, InterBase performs a full physical backup (an online dump). After the initial full dump, the -d switch performs an incremental backup, saving and copying all of the transactions committed since the last full backup.
