NOTE

       /NOINCREMENTAL is valid only in BACKUP save operations. It
       is not related to the /INCREMENTAL qualifier, which is valid
       only in restore operations.

    Beginning with OpenVMS Version 7.2, on a save operation,
    /NOINCREMENTAL allows you to control the amount of file data
    that is saved. Use this qualifier only if you are sure that you
    want to save specific files and do not want to save all data.

    In recent versions of OpenVMS, the /SINCE=BACKUP incremental
    save operation has been refined so that files that are saved are
    accurate and not redundant. As a result, the /NOINCREMENTAL and
    /SINCE=BACKUP qualifiers are not allowed together. This ensures
    an accurate /INCREMENTAL restore.

    /NOINCREMENTAL is valid only in BACKUP save operations. It is
    not related to the /INCREMENTAL qualifier, which is valid only in
    restore operations.
