    Description

      We need to update backup doc to sync it with the current implementation and to add section for current limitations:

      • 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. (HBASE-14135)
