MySQL Incremental Backups on Windows
Making a full database backup is very easy with mysqldump . Details are available in this article. However, such backups are a heavy load on the database because they require a lot of space and take a long time to create. This is not acceptable for a large production database. Therefore, instead of FULL database backups, you can do incremental database backups.
Incremental backups do not contain all database data but only the data that changed since the previous backup. In this case, to restore the data, you will need the entire chain of backups. Continue reading MySQL Incremental Backups on Windows
Automating SQL Server Backups on Windows: Why You Need It and How to Do It
A backup is a copy of data taken and stored elsewhere so that you can restore it in case of a database breakdown. The most common causes of a breakdown include the following:

- Human issue: A person with access might unintentionally damage the data. For example, they might delete data that was not supposed to be deleted.
- Hacker issue: If attackers infiltrate your system, then they will, first of all, encrypt your database and demand a ransom for decryption.
