Eagle library may contain a large amount of important data after long-term use, making regular backups very important. This article will introduce how to efficiently perform incremental backups while ensuring your tags and metadata are completely preserved.

Recommended Incremental Backup Solutions

Use Professional Backup Tools: We recommend using system built-in or third-party professional backup tools for incremental backups. These tools only back up the changed portions of files, effectively saving storage space and backup time.
Choose Tools That Support Metadata Preservation: Ensure that your chosen backup tool supports file version control and metadata (such as tags) preservation features, so that your tag information won't be lost even after multiple backups.

Backup Tool Recommendations for Different Systems

macOS Users: You can use the system's built-in Time Machine for automatic incremental backups, which can effectively preserve file history versions.
Windows Users: Consider using professional backup software like Acronis, which provides complete incremental backup solutions.
Cloud Sync Services: Cloud storage services like Dropbox, OneDrive can serve not only as backup solutions but also enable data synchronization across multiple devices, making it convenient to access your library from different devices.

Important Considerations

Regularly check the integrity of backup files to ensure backups can be restored properly
Consider adopting multiple backup strategies (such as local backup + cloud backup) to improve data security
Always perform a complete backup before major operations (such as system upgrades)
