Summary: Backup documentation update Key: HBASE-17133 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17133 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Vladimir Rodionov We need to update backup doc to sync it with the current implementation and to add section for current limitations: {quote} - if you write to the table with Durability.SKIP_WALS your data will not be in the incremental-backup - if you bulkload files that data will not be in the incremental backup (HBASE-14417) - the incremental backup will not only contains the data of the table you specified but also the regions from other tables that are on the same set of RSs (HBASE-14141) ...maybe a note about security around this topic - the incremental backup will not contains just the "latest row" between backup A and B, but it will also contains all the updates occurred in between. but the restore does not allow you to restore up to a certain point in time, the restore will always be up to the "latest backup point". - you should limit the number of "incremental" up to N (or maybe SIZE), to avoid replay time becoming the bottleneck.
