About Sybase database backups
You can use the NetBackup interfaces to start Sybase backups. You can also issue DUMP commands directly from the isql utility to perform Sybase backups.
The following types of backups exist for Sybase:
A full backup copies the entire database, including both the data and the transaction log. This is accomplished by performing a database dump.
An incremental backup copies the transaction log that contains the database changes made since the last database or transaction log dump. You can run a transaction log dump only if the database stores its log on a separate segment.
