+== Incremental snapshots
+
+The low RPO (Recovery Point Object), e.g. a few minutes, can hardly be
achieved using full snapshots. They require additional resources
+to create and store all partitions data. Instead, you can use incremental
snapshots:
+
+1. to store the data changes happened since previous full or incremental
snapshot was created
+2. to provide a lightweight creation process and can be run concurrently with
runtime load.
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+
+Incremental snapshots consist of compressed WAL segments, which are collected
in the background without pressure on cluster resources.
+====
+
+There are some prerequisites for using incremental snapshots:
+
+* Incremental snapshots are based on existing full snapshot.
+* link:persistence/native-persistence#wal-archive-compaction[WAL archive
compaction] has to be enabled.
+* Incremental snapshots has to be created on the same media drive where WAL
archives are stored.
+
+During incremental snapshot restore procedure the full snapshot is restored
first and after that all increments are restored sequentially.
+
+Please refer to the sections
link:snapshots/snapshots#consistency-guarantees[Consistency Guarantees] and
+link:snapshots/snapshots#current-limitations[Current Limitations] below for
more details about incremental snapshots.

+=== Incremental snapshot consistency guarantees
+
+Incremental snapshots uses different non-blocking approach for achieving
transactional consistency based on the Consistent Cut algorithm.
+This allows you to start incremental snapshots concurrently with the runtime
load without affecting performance. But it doesn't guarantee consistency
+for atomic caches. It's highly recommended to verify these caches after
restoring with the `idle_verify`

the `consistency` command. Please, check the

these commands.

+* Caches are created, changed or destroyed after full snapshot was created.
