    If you have a backup strategy consisting of both baseline and
    incremental backup operations, and you need to restore a volume to
    the state of the volume when the last incremental backup was
    performed, you can do the following: (a) restore the most recent
    weekly baseline backup for the base from which you can build a new
    disk, then (b) restore the nightly incremental backups to recreate
    the files that changed from when the baseline backup was performed.
    Restoring incremental backups in reverse chronological order is most
    efficient.  For more information, see "Recovering data with multiple
    backup strategies" in the "Tasks ..." help topic.
