Identify event

A VSS event indicating that a writer or a requester needs to query the current writer. It is used to construct the current writer's metadata information. See also requester, writer.

implicit component inclusion

Not adding a component's information to a requester's Backup Components Document when it participates in a backup or restore operation.

Nonselectable components with a selectable ancestor are only implicitly included if their ancestor is included.

Selectable components with a selectable ancestor may be included implicitly, if the ancestor is included, or may be included explicitly.

Nonselectable components without any selectable ancestors are never implicitly included in a backup or restore operation—all such components must be explicitly added to the Backup Components Document if any of the writer's components participate.

Selectable components without selectable ancestors chosen by a requester for participation in a backup or restore cannot be implicitly included in the operation, but must be explicitly added to the Backup Components Document.

incremental backup operations

A backup or restore operation is performed only on files created or changed since the last full, incremental, or differential backup was saved. See also differential backup operations.
