I made a full backup yesterday using webgisdr, and tonight I wanted to make an incremental backup, but when I tried to run webgisdr with a new properties file that had BACKUP_RESTORE_MODE = incremental, I got the following response:

==================================================

Starting the WebGIS DR utility.

==================================================

The point-in-time recovery is turned off in the Relational Data Store: https://my_domain:2443/arcgis

Use the changedbproperties tool within the tools folder of the ArcGIS Data Store installation directory to enable point-in-time recovery. Visit the ArcGIS Data Store help for more information.

Exiting the WebGIS DR utility.

 

I then attempted to enable pitr with:

./changedbproperties.sh --store relational --pitr enable

You are changing the following database properties: 

...Point-In-Time Recovery: enable

WARNING: You are trying to turn on Point-In-Time Recovery. A backup will be created following the change, and that might take a while.

Changing database configurations could cause the database to restart. Please do not interrupt the process once it has started.

Do you want to continue (Yes or No)?

I responded with No. Does the response mean that just a data store backup will be performed? Do I need to delete my last full webgisdr backup and start over after changing the pitr setting? I checked all the online documentation and the community for more information, but couldn't find anything that gives me any confidence in how to proceed.

Any additional information is greatly appreciated.

select Yes to continue

that will create a new full backup that will become your new base point for the incremental backups to rely on until the next full backup
