 * I have a question about the new incremental backup feature. When an incremental
   backup is taken, is a full copy of the current database included in the incremental
   backup? From the link in the admin page. Its not clear if the current database
   is backed up as part of an incremental backup. Thank you,

 * If the incremental backups do not include the database, how does one ensure that
   database backups are made at the same time as the incrementals?

 * Hi,
 * While database backups are taken during an incremental backup (if selected), 
   the database backup will always be a full backup (i.e it will include the full
   database).
