Dell EMC Avamar for Sybase ASE 19.7 User Guide

For an incremental backup, the Sybase plug-in creates a backup file on the Avamar server with the following naming convention:

Sybase_server_name/db_name/i-n

where i-n indicates an incremental backup with the sequence number n, starting from 1.

For example, the first incremental backup in a sequence of backups of database db1 on Sybase server server1 creates the following backup file:

server1/db1/i-1

The sequence number 1 indicates the first incremental backup after a full backup of the database. Subsequent incremental backups of the database create the following backup files:

server1/db1/i-2

server1/db1/i-3

When the next full backup of database db1 is performed, the file sequence is reset to f-0. Subsequent incremental backups are then performed against the new full backup.
