Incremental backup with cbbackup

Hi,

In the documentation cbbackup is described as the tool the community version can use and cbbackupmgr as the enterprise backup tool. In the documentation it is stated that cbbackup tool can perform incremental backups, but our testing results say that it can’t: the command just creates a full backup. Is the documentation not correct and the commands (-m accu/diff) faulty (testing was done with the 4.5 community version)?

Incremental backup in cbbackup is an enterprise feature.

Thank you for the response. Perhaps it would be possible to specify the use differences in the documentation as well.
If the Enterprise edition is now using cbbackupmgr for this can’t the cbbackup functions be available to the community edition? It would be a very popular feature.
