a single device group. All devices in a device group must be
on the same EMC Symmetrix unit. You can use a device group
to identify and work with a subset of the available EMC
Symmetrix devices.
A device is streaming if it can feed enough data to the medium
to keep it moving forward continuously. Otherwise, the tape
has to be stopped, the device waits for more data, reverses the
tape a little and resumes to write to the tape, and so on. In other
words, if the data rate written to the tape is less or equal the
data rate which can be delivered to the device by the computer
system, then the device is streaming. Streaming significantly
improves the performance of the device and use of space.
A system running the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) providing dynamic IP address assignment and network
configuration for DHCP clients.
An incremental backup that backs up changes made since the
last full backup. To perform this type of backup, specify the Incr1
backup type.

(Microsoft SQL Server specific term) A database backup that
records only the data changes made to the database after the
last full database backup.
See also backup types.
A differential database backup records only those data changes
made to the database after the last full database backup.
A SAN-based backup solution in which data movement directly
from disk to tape (or to other secondary storage) is facilitated
by the SCSI Extended Copy (Xcopy) command. Direct backup
lessens the backup I/O load on systems in a SAN environment.
The data movement is facilitated directly from disk to tape (or
to other secondary storage) by the SCSI Extended Copy (XCopy)
command. The command is provided by any element of the
infrastructure including bridges, switches, tape libraries, and
disk subsystems.
